Session logs are environment-specific. Users running VS Code on Windows but Copilot CLI/OpenCode in WSL see no usage data due to path mismatches.

Changes

  • Added WSL compatibility note to Known Issues section
  • Explains requirement: tools must run in same environment as VS Code host
  • Links to Remote - WSL extension and official VS Code WSL documentation
  • Positioned after Dev Containers note (similar cross-environment constraint)

Solution for Users

Run VS Code from WSL using Remote - WSL extension, or run all tools natively on Windows.
