Standard outputs (e.g., git branch) are getting messed up by the help message #1771

Describe the bug

I have noticed that sometimes after Copilot outputs stuff, the "Try copilot --help for more information" output pops up and covers up key parts of the UI such as the git branch name and can even start getting duplicated so it shows up in the text entry portion of the screen. I don't need this message ever really as it part of the CLI input for starting copilot not a / command. But also if I'm in the middle of using copilot I don't need that. Just have it on startup or something and show like you do for messages about MCPs connected etc. It's really annoying and is making it hard for me to track my git branch so I've got to ! git status every so often.

Affected version

v0.0.420

Steps to reproduce the behavior

I just use copilot for awhile and it starts popping up. It's not 100% but eventually after doing some work it starts showing up and covering things up. Seems like a weird bug to have help command popping up?

Expected behavior

If you need to show this help info, only show on startup and never again after that. Though I'd expect you'd only see it when calling copilot command and maybe would be better to see a message about using /help instead?

You can see that in this one, the branch is hidden behind the help message
