Description
## What happens
I use VS Code desktop with **Copilot** selected as the session type, rather than **Local**.
After setting up a tunnel and coming back later, I sometimes cannot send messages. My text stays in the input box and nothing happens.
## Observed sequence
1. Set up a tunnel and use a Copilot session in VS Code desktop.
2. Leave and return later.
3. Type a message and try to send it.
This happens intermittently. I do not have a reliable reproduction or know whether the tunnel has disconnected when it happens.
## Expected behavior
Send the message, or show a connection error with a way to reconnect. Do not silently leave the message in the input box.
## Related reports
- #334573 concerns sending through a disconnected tunnel. I do not know whether this is the same problem.
- #334159 describes input clearing followed by a stuck turn. In my case, the text stays in the input box.
## Environment
VS Code desktop, Copilot session type, tunnel connection. Exact VS Code build and Copilot runtime version not yet collected. User-observed; not independently reproduced.
