Created plan is not run by "Start Implementing"->"Continue in Copilot"

Type: Bug

I asked the Copilot to create a plan. It did, and at the end the "Start Implementing" tab showed up for me to pick and proceed. I click "Continue in Copilot". Then ... it did not act on the plan but is doing something irrelevant.

I did a follow-up:
===========
Then why the heck when I click "Start Implementing"->"Continue in Copilot", you start doing something else and ask about "What should I implement next in the MC workspace ...."?

Because the implementation handoff failed to carry the drafted plan into the new Copilot execution context.

When you selected Start Implementation → Continue in Copilot, Copilot started a fresh execution session. Instead of receiving the review plan as its active task, it loaded the MC workspace skill, saw its generic requirement to ask for the target board and hardware scope, and asked:

“What should I implement next in the MC workspace?”

That was the wrong behavior. The plan was already the task and should have taken precedence over the generic MC skill. It should have immediately reviewed .github against .cursor, without asking about boards or touching MC application code.

The underlying failure was:

The plan existed in session context/memory, not as reliably attached execution input.
The execution session did not recognize it as the authoritative plan.
The generic workspace skill overrode the missing plan context.
The handoff did not detect that its clarification question was irrelevant to the approved plan.
You did nothing wrong by selecting that option. Continue in Copilot is intended to execute the plan just created. In this case, the plan handoff was defective, and the agent should have stopped rather than improvising.
