Fix Windows 'Fix/feature' launch: quote prompt argument to copilot CLI#132
Conversation
The PowerShell subexpression (Get-Content ... -Raw) was passed unquoted, causing the multi-line prompt content to be split into multiple arguments. Store the content in a variable and pass it in double quotes so copilot receives it as a single -i argument. Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>

Problem
When using Fix / feature on Windows, the copilot CLI failed with:
\
error: too many arguments. Expected 0 arguments but got 1.
\\
The PowerShell subexpression (Get-Content '...' -Raw)\ was passed unquoted to \copilot -i, causing the multi-line prompt content to be split into multiple arguments by PowerShell.
Fix
Store the file content in a \\ variable first, then pass it double-quoted (\"") so copilot receives it as a single -i\ argument.
