copilot cli in wsl spinning on the cpu with an unresponsive tui

[neerajsi-msft]

Describe the bug

I experienced unresponsiveness and 100% cpu usage while using the copilot cli. I had a long session going with claude opus 4.6 1M, so maybe the large amount of state was causing issues.

I collected a short trace of the process with edge devtools

wsl-github-copilot-mainthread-spinning.gz.

Affected version

GitHub Copilot CLI 1.0.10

Steps to reproduce the behavior

This is reproing whenever the model is running and "thinking" or doing some other local agent actions.

I have attached the devtools trace.

Expected behavior

No response
