Description

When using the Copilot in latest VSCode stable on Windows, I noticed that the Python extension shows prompts like:

There's also another variant of the prompt asking for the path to the Python executable.

Both prompts have been triggered from Copilot while building a Python app in agent mode using Opus 4.5. I've only seen these prompts on Windows and not on macOS. Prompts like these break the Copilot's agent flow because they require user interaction and prevent the agent from figuring out the requirements by itself.
