Type: Bug

I am having an issue with fetching GitHub issue in Copilot Chat.

The following is my current setup:

  1. Private repo
  2. Agent mode (ask mode does not have any issue)

Chat Question

@githubpr Summarize issue xability/maidr-ts#11

Copilot Chat Response

I'll help summarize the issue from the GitHub repository. Let me search for details about issue #11 in the maidr-ts repository.

Searched text for issue #11, no results
I apologize, but I couldn't find direct references to issue #11 in the codebase. Let me try a different approach to search for the issue content by looking
for more general references to issues or pull requests.

there is no issue with GitHub authentication because I can use all the GitHub Pull Requests extension features, including making PR, listing issues/PR, etc in VS Code.

Furthermore, like what I said, I can fetch the issue with the same chat query in Ask mode. Only Agent mode has this issue.

I double-checked whether my GitHub cli was authenticated in terminal. Yes, it is:

gh issue view 11 --repo xability/maidr-ts
docs: add README xability/maidr-ts#11

  Need to add README later once this repo is ready for public use.
