WSL2: Copilot CLI 1.0.82 consumes ~31 GB RSS and ~57% CPU #4694

Description

@stark-antonio-almeida

Describe the bug

I'm running copilot cli on WSL.
When running a the model Claud Opus 5 on High Effort on a long running session, at about 47% context usage, and with an agent similar to the thinking-beast-mode the cpu consumption went up and the memory consumption exhausted the available.

Can be related with #2208?

Affected version

GitHub Copilot CLI 1.0.82.

Steps to reproduce the behavior

Prompted to produce python scripts to perform statistical analysis on text data. Requested a production ready program.

Expected behavior

No response
