Description

When asking questions, it does not seem to keep track of the conversation (according to Fiddler, every ask is turning into a new conversation).

Image

This is the most easiest repro of validating this:

what's my name
Copilot: Your name is Robin Meure. 1
what was the previous question
Copilot: There wasn't a previous question in this conversation. This is the first message you've sent here, so there's nothing earlier for me to refer back to. If you meant a question from another chat or somewhere else (for example, an email, Teams chat, or meeting), tell me where to look and I can help track it down.

Research direction

Start in the Work IQ MCP server or CLI conversation-handling entry point and reproduce the issue with the two-question sequence shown in the report, checking Fiddler for separate conversations. Done means a follow-up question can refer to the preceding question within the same conversation.
