Describe the bug
Context Tier config option does not seem to actually impact the agent that the cli is launched with, nor any despatched sub agents; until you have manually used the model picker to select a model with long context, THEN the main session and sub agents correctly use long context
Affected version
GitHub Copilot CLI 1.0.61.
Steps to reproduce the behavior
Ensure previous copilot cli session was running with a model with default context window selected
Launch the cli with --context=long_context
OR
launch a session with no options and then:
/config contextTier long_context
run /context to see usage, the model context shows the default value (not the extended option)
Expected behavior
launching cli with context option or setting the context tier via config changes the context tier for the model in use and crucially any despatched sub agents
Additional context
No response
