Copilot Chat composer

Type: Bug

Please expose user settings for the Copilot Chat composer’s font family and font size. The composer is the primary interaction window, but its Monaco font settings are hard-coded and require unsupported custom CSS overrides. Users should be able to configure these independently from code blocks and rendered chat content. 13 point Monaco on a 4K monitor is very difficult to read, especially for long sessions.
