Describe the bug
When the CLI displays a permission-gate/tool-approval confirmation prompt before running a tool call (e.g., a PowerShell command referencing a file path), the rendered preview shows a truncated version of the path — dropping the leading drive letter and/or earlier path segments (e.g., showing \Users\UserName\ instead of the full C:\Users\UserName\Folder\SubFolder\...) — even though the actual command text passed to the tool contains the complete, correct absolute path.
Affected version
GitHub Copilot CLI 1.0.82
Steps to reproduce the behavior
- Start an interactive session with GitHub Copilot CLI on Windows.
- Ask the agent to run a PowerShell command that references a full absolute path, e.g.:
Get-ChildItem "C:\Users\Username\Folder\SubFolder" -Force
- When the permission-gate confirmation dialog appears (asking to approve the tool call), observe the path as rendered in that preview.
- Compare against the actual command string — the underlying command is correct and full, but the displayed preview text is partial/truncated.
Expected behavior
The permission-gate preview should render the full, untruncated absolute path exactly as it appears in the command being executed, with no segments dropped.
Additional context
- CLI version: 1.0.82
- OS: Windows
- This is purely a display/rendering issue in the confirmation UI — the command itself executes against the correct full path when approved. Reproduced consistently across multiple tool-call approvals across multiple sessions.
