When copilot crashes with enqueued messages, you lose them #3184

Describe the bug

I had a copilot session running and it crashed. When I resume it, the queued messages are no longer there and copilot doesn't know anything about them. In theory, I can use the arrow keys to go back through history to find them, but I've been using several other sessions and their messages show now too. I don't remember what specific messages I had in the queue.

Affected version

GitHub Copilot CLI 1.0.43

Steps to reproduce the behavior

Start a session
Queue several messages
Something happens that causes copilot to crash
Resume the session
Copilot doesn't know about the previously queued messages

Expected behavior

Copilot can restore the queue messages somehow.

Additional context

Windows 11 x64
