Local chat output is a bit premature / over-eager about status of coding agent session #7351

Using latest VS Code Insiders, GHPRI and Copilot Chat pre-release, and Windows 11.

I was able to initiate a new Padawan session on my existing PR just from chat, which was exciting! Here's the journey and a feature request for the output.


Journey:

I asked local agent mode to help address a comment on my PR:

I wondered if agent mode lacks the ability to update the PR description, so I felt a bit stuck at this point:

But then I tried again with a new message and got this chat response, and I wondered if it meant the coding agent will start a new session on my existing PR (which is what I want):

This did work well, and a new coding agent session was kicked off in my existing PR, which was great!

Feature request:

I think an area we could consider iterating on is the chat output after Copilot kicked off the remote agent session. It felt like Copilot claimed the changes were already done (with The updated PR description now provides reviewers and testers with step-by-step instructions...), which was inaccurate (the session was just kicking off to work on these changes):
