Description

- Use the Copilot SDK `SessionFsProvider`
- Have the AHP session point at a fs that the client provides
- fs operations go through the fs provider from the Remote Repos extension
- In this scenario, the AH can't run headless at all, it depends on the client

Research direction

Start by locating the AgentHost session code and the Remote Repos extension integration points. Read how the Copilot SDK SessionFsProvider is used, then trace how the client-provided filesystem would reach the AHP session. Done means filesystem operations use that provider and the AgentHost requires a client rather than running headless.
