Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue in the GitHub Copilot app on Windows using a WSL remote, early in a session after asking for analysis. Check whether the branch rename tool is exposed among the available tools and record the session conditions; done means the tool is available and the requested branch rename no longer produces a missing-tool complaint.

Description

triage
Short summary

LLM complaining it cannot rename the branch safely

Affected version or release

v1.1.22

Installation context

Installed on windows using WSL remote

What happened?

Seems the session rename tool disappeared- I cannot see a way to manage the available tools to help the LLM.

"I also cannot satisfy the requested pre-edit branch rename because this session exposes no branch-renaming tool and raw branch renames are prohibited."

Steps to reproduce

No idea, this is a short distance into a session where I asked the LLM to do some analysis.

Expected behavior

No complains about missing tools or inability to rename branches
