Description

  • Copilot Chat Extension Version: 0.51.0
  • VS Code Version: 1.123.0
  • OS Version: Kubuntu 24.04

Details:
I synced my chats from my work-machine (Kubunt 24.04) to github.
Sessions appear on GitHub session page, but do not appear in the local Copilot session history list in VS Code of my home-machine (also (Kubunt 24.04) , even after window reload and after successful reindex.

Logs:

  • Chronicle reindex result:
    Local reindex complete
    Sessions: 3 -> 3 (delta 0)
    Turns: 3 -> 3 (delta 0)
    Files: 0 -> 0
    Refs: 0 -> 0
    Processed: 0, Skipped: 3
  • Session lookup confirms target session exists in indexed data

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Open VS Code 1.123.0 on Linux with GitHub Copilot Chat enabled and signed in.
  2. Run /chronicle reindex in Copilot Chat.
  3. Observe successful reindex output showing local sessions present (for example Sessions 3 -> 3, Skipped 3).
  4. Open Copilot session history in VS Code.
  5. Expected: recently indexed sessions are visible.
  6. Actual: session is not visible in local history UI, although it is present in indexed/session data and visible on GitHub session page.
