Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue in Xcode 26.2 with Copilot for Xcode 0.46.0 and inspect the Coding Assistant pane input box shown in the screenshot. Done means Copilot no longer obscures prompts, the behavior is verified on macOS 26.2, and a release note is included in the GitHub releases.
