Describe the bug
When resuming a session with:
copilot --resume=
the original session is resumed correctly, but Copilot also creates a new session-state directory under ~/.copilot/session-state/ with a different session ID.
Example
- resumed/original session: f3db8a64-0d62-47a6-9253-dd005738ba5c
- extra new directory created: f35d8fc1-f713-4ecd-bad6-ca09a07cb1f6
Actual behavior
- the original session continues correctly
- agent/tool activity is still associated with the original session
- but a second session-state directory is created for the new ID
- important files inside that new directory are empty
Expected behavior
- resume should reuse only the original session-state directory, with no extra new directory created
Why this seems wrong
I only noticed this because I built a macOS app to inspect Copilot sessions. From that view, it looks like resume creates a duplicate/empty session artifact even though the real resumed work belongs to the original session.
Repro steps
- Start a Copilot CLI session and note its session ID
- Exit the session
- Run:
copilot --resume=
- Observe: - original session is resumed
- a second new directory appears under ~/.copilot/session-state/
- files in the new directory are empty
Environment
- Copilot CLI version: 1.0.64
- OS: macOS
Affected version
GitHub Copilot CLI 1.0.64
Steps to reproduce the behavior
- Start a Copilot CLI session and note its session ID
- Exit the session
- Run:
copilot --resume=
- Observe: - original session is resumed
- a second new directory appears under ~/.copilot/session-state/
- files in the new directory are empty
Expected behavior
Expected behavior
