Motivation and Context
GitHub Copilot SDK emits
AssistantReasoningEventandAssistantReasoningDeltaEventfor model reasoning/thinking output. GitHubCopilotAgent was not handling these events, causing reasoning content to be lost or stored as genericAIContentinstead of the semantically correctTextReasoningContent.Description
C# Implementation (
