Pull request overview
This PR adjusts the Copilot extension’s tool-calling autopilot loop to stop continuing when the model appears “done” (i.e., returns no tool calls), and updates the user-facing autopilot progress wording accordingly.
Changes:
- Update
shouldAutopilotContinueto stop nudging when the model returns a text-only response with no tool calls, and to stop after a prior nudge produced no tool calls. - Refine autopilot progress messages (tool-call-limit extension, error recovery, and “task not complete” continuation).
- Extend the autopilot unit tests to cover the new stopping behaviors and update test helpers to support text responses.
