Start by reproducing the issue in Eclipse IDE 4.39.0 M3 on macOS, using Agent mode with the run_in_terminal tool, then inspect how terminal completion is reported back to the Copilot chat. Confirm that the terminal output is received and that control returns to the chat, which then generates the expected content.
