When outputting debug logs, the folder location is missing a \. This will result an error if you try and copy/paste this path into Windows Explorer.

Steps to reproduce the behavior
- type
/collect-debug-logs filein the command box of copilot. - Press Enter and select a chat you want to export.
- Wait until you get the message that the "Debug logs saved to:"

I can copy the path from copilot cli output into Windows Explorer or Run dialog box and the file/directory opens.
