Inconsistent passing of local file context

[garrmark]

I filed this in the tech preview feedback for copilot extensions, but it was suggested that it might be better addressed here.

copilot-extensions/user-feedback#24

Thanks.

let me know if you need more info @isidorn , thanks.

also, any tips on getting me unstuck, are there cache files I can clear somewhere etc.?

[isidorn]

@roblourens might be able to help

But I am curious if you tried extending Copilot via a VS Code extension locally? With that flow I will be able to help more.

[garrmark]

I haven't tried that route, but I can explore that more if necessary. Thanks.

Sounds like this is with attaching context to a remote copilot extension

[garrmark]

Correct

I've put my work on hold and have switched over to using https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/servers instead to achieve my goals, I hope I can pursue this further when it's fixed.
