* Agent host: Copilot SDK integration with chat UI

* Refactoring and cleanup
* Copilot-authored message: Agent-host tool rendering, protocol, and session fixes
Tool invocation rendering:
- Emit tool_start/tool_complete as ChatToolInvocation (not progressMessage)
- Shell tools (bash/powershell) render as terminal command blocks with
IChatTerminalToolInvocationData, output, and exit codes
- Non-shell tools render via invocationMessage/pastTenseMessage (markdown)
- Filter out report_intent (hidden internal tool)
Agent-agnostic protocol:
- IPC events carry display-ready fields (displayName, invocationMessage,
pastTenseMessage, toolInput, toolOutput, toolKind, language)
- All Copilot CLI-specific logic in copilotToolDisplay.ts with typed
interfaces for known tools (CopilotToolName enum, parameter types)
- Renderer never references specific SDK tool names
Session fixes:
- Resumed sessions show tool invocations in history (getSessionMessages
now returns tool events alongside messages)
- Fixed 'already has a pending request' on resumed sessions by
conditionally providing interruptActiveResponseCallback
- Fixed event filtering for resumed sessions (sessionId override in
_trackSession)
Documentation:
- Split parity.md into design.md (decisions) and backlog.md (tasks)
- Updated architecture.md, sessions.md with cross-references
- Added maintenance notes to all docs
* Copilot-authored message: Model picker, session class, DI and test cleanup
* Cleanups
* stuff
* add diagram
* Add claude agent
* Clean up
* Copy some build script changes from #295817
* Simplify
* Update docs
* Register agent-host via chatSessions contribution API, reduce peripheral diff
* Cleanup
* Don't ship stuff in stable
* Dynamic agent discovery via listAgents() IPC
Replace hardcoded per-provider contributions with a single
AgentHostContribution that discovers available agents from the
agent host process at startup. Each IAgent backend now exposes
an IAgentDescriptor with display metadata and auth requirements.
- Add IAgentDescriptor interface and listAgents() to IPC contract
- CopilotAgent/ClaudeAgent return descriptors via getDescriptor()
- Single AgentHostContribution discovers + registers dynamically
- Remove agentHostConstants.ts (no more hardcoded session types)
- AgentHostSessionListController/LMProvider take params instead
- Rename AgentSessionProviders.AgentHost -> AgentHostCopilot
- Update architecture.md, sessions.md, backlog.md
(Written by Copilot)
* Fix review findings: proxy, disposal, filtering, tests
- Add listAgents() forwarding to AgentHostServiceClient
- Guard async discovery against disposal race
- Add provider field to IAgentModelInfo for per-provider filtering
- Filter models and sessions by provider in LM provider and list
controller
- Update tests for new dynamic API and agent-host-copilot scheme

* Use DI for AgentHostLanguageModelProvider
(Written by Copilot)
* Strip @img/sharp native binaries from builds
sharp is a transitive dependency of the Claude Agent SDK used for
image processing. Its native .node binaries cause dpkg-shlibdeps
errors during Debian packaging due to $ORIGIN RPATH references.
Strip all @img/sharp-* platform packages since the agent host
doesn't need image processing at runtime.
(Written by Copilot)
* Strip Claude SDK vendored ripgrep binaries
The Claude Agent SDK bundles ripgrep binaries for all platforms
under vendor/ripgrep/. Wrong-architecture binaries cause macOS
Mach-O verification to fail. Strip them entirely via .moduleignore
(VS Code has its own ripgrep) and add to verify-macho skip list.
(Written by Copilot)
* Add tests for AgentSession, AgentService dispatcher, and workbench agent host components
(Written by Copilot)
* Add trace logging, IPC output channel, tool permissions, and attachment context
- Add Agent Host IPC output channel (only registered at trace log level) that
logs all IPC method calls, results, and progress events with full JSON payloads
- Add trace-level logging in AgentService dispatcher for all method calls
- Add trace-level logging in session handler for all progress events and session
resolution
- Wire up onPermissionRequest handler on CopilotClient.createSession and
resumeSession to auto-approve tool permission requests
- Add IAgentAttachment type to IPC contract and thread attachments from chat
variables (file, directory, selection) through sendMessage to the Copilot SDK
(Written by Copilot)
* Add tests for attachment context conversion and threading
(Written by Copilot)
* Add gap analysis docs for Copilot and Claude SDK implementations
(Written by Copilot)
* Sanitize env vars for Copilot CLI subprocess
Strip VSCODE_*, ELECTRON_* (except ELECTRON_RUN_AS_NODE), NODE_OPTIONS, and
other debug-related env vars that can interfere with the Node.js process the
SDK spawns. Matches the env sanitization from the extension implementation.
Also set useStdio and autoStart for proper CLI communication.
(Written by Copilot)
* Add error, usage, and title_changed event types to IPC contract
Add IAgentErrorEvent, IAgentUsageEvent, and IAgentTitleChangedEvent to the
progress event union. Wire up session.error and assistant.usage events from
the Copilot SDK to fire as IPC events instead of only logging. Handle error
events in the renderer session handler by rendering the error message. Usage
and title_changed events are logged at trace level.
(Written by Copilot)
* Add abortSession IPC method for proper cancellation
Add abortSession(session) to the IPC contract, implemented across AgentService,
CopilotAgent (calls session.abort()), ClaudeAgent (no-op, uses AbortController),
and the renderer proxy. Wire up cancellation in the session handler to call
abortSession before finishing, so the SDK actually stops processing.
(Written by Copilot)
* Address reviewer feedback: error finishes request, Claude abort, tests
- Error events now call finish() so the request doesn't hang if the SDK
doesn't send idle after an error
- ClaudeAgent.abortSession calls ClaudeSession.abort() which signals the
AbortController and creates a new one for future turns
- Add test: cancellation calls abortSession on the agent host service
- Add test: error event renders message and finishes the request
- Remove stale TODO in interruptActiveResponseCallback
- Use timeout() helper instead of raw setTimeout in test
- Update gap docs to reflect completed work
(Written by Copilot)
* Add permission request IPC round-trip (Written by Copilot)
* Remove Claude agent from agent-host process
Strip the Claude Agent SDK integration from the agent-host utility process
to focus on the Copilot SDK path.
- Delete src/vs/platform/agent/node/claude/ (claudeAgent, claudeSession, claudeToolDisplay)
- Remove @anthropic-ai/claude-agent-sdk from package.json
- Remove AgentHostClaude enum member and all switch cases
- Remove Claude command registration in electron-browser chat.contribution
- Clean up build scripts (.moduleignore, verify-macho, gulpfile.vscode)
- Narrow AgentProvider type to just 'copilot'
- Update tests and documentation

The test/e2e/ directory was too deep for TypeScript to resolve imports
back to src/vs/. Move to test/ (one level up) where imports work.
E2E runner scripts (.cjs) and scenarios stay in test/e2e/.
Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>
Keeps all E2E test code (mocks, runners, scenarios, extensions) in one
place, separate from production Sessions code. Updates import paths,
server path, and ESLint config.
Note: ESLint import-patterns warnings remain because the relative
imports from test/e2e/ depth don't match the restriction glob syntax.
This is cosmetic — the imports are valid TypeScript.

New files:
- web.test.ts: TestSessionsBrowserMain with MockChatEntitlementService
- web.test.factory.ts: Factory using TestSessionsBrowserMain
- sessions.web.test.internal.ts: Test entry point
Server uses test entry point when --mock, which injects a mock
IChatEntitlementService returning ChatEntitlement.Free with
installed=true, so Sessions thinks the user is signed in.
Also adds ESLint import patterns for sessions web entry points.

Pre-sets the workspace to github-remote-file://mock-repo/ so the
Sessions UI starts with a folder already open, backed by the mock
file system provider from the E2E extension.

New extension at extensions/sessions-e2e-mock/ provides:
- Mock GitHub auth provider (fake token, skips sign-in)
- Mock chat participant (canned responses based on input keywords)
- Mock file system for github-remote-file:// (in-memory files)
Server loads the extension when --mock flag is passed. The generate
and test runners both use --mock automatically.
New npm scripts:
- serve:mock — opens Sessions in browser with mocks loaded
Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>
The serve script now opens with ?skip-sessions-welcome to bypass
the sign-in overlay during manual testing.

For #269213
This adds a new eslint rule for `as any` and `<any>({... })`. We'd like to remove almost all of these, however right now the first goal is to prevent them in new code. That's why with this first PR I simply add `eslint-disable` comments for all breaks
Trying to get this change in soon after branching off for release to hopefully minimize disruption during debt week work
* Revert "Revert "tests - enable API tests with test runner" (#241146)"
