Description

*Problem:*
GitHub Copilot can give audio updates while processing instructions and when completed. It will start talking to me regardless of the mute setting and will happily talk through a conversation I am having when I am muted. In such cases I am not able to focus on what's being said immediately, so I will miss a part of what is being said. There doesn't appear to be an easy way to get Copilot to repeat the last message.

The mute setting is there so I can talk to others without Copilot paying attention to me but there is no equivalent setting to tell Copilot that I am not paying attention to it.

*Potential solution*
* While muted, progress updates should not be provided.
* When muted upon completion, instead of a full update, Copilot should provide a short indication, such as "The work is done, let me know when you're ready to hear about it". It should then respond to a quick request for an update, such as "tell me about it".
