Research direction

Start by locating the code path in Copilot for Xcode that handles the “max token exceed” warning and continuation prompt. Compare its behavior with the Copilot CLI flow mentioned in the issue; done means an equivalent continuation experience works in Xcode without the warning interrupting the user.

Description

reviewed

When running Copilot for Xcode, I sometimes encounter a "max token exceed" warning, after which I'm prompted to continue. However, when I use the same prompt and model in Copilot CLI, I don't encounter this issue. So, I'm wondering if it's possible for Copilot for Xcode to support this feature as well?
