Describe the bug
Subscription : GitHub Copilot Business subscription.
While running an active CLI session, I accidentally submitted a prompt that included an image. The CLI correctly returned an error indicating that image-based prompts are not supported. However, after this exception occurred, the CLI entered an unrecoverable state.
From that point onward, any subsequent input—whether a text-only prompt or the execution of any CLI command—results in the same exception being thrown, even though no image is included in the prompt. Restarting the prompt flow within the same session does not resolve the issue.
I also believe this same behavior occurs when using models that do not have vision capabilities at all, not only when vision is disabled by organizational policy.
Exception observed : Execution failed: CAPI Error ...

An image and a video demonstrating the steps to reproduce the issue are attached.
UnrecoverableState.zip
Affected version
GitHub Copilot CLI 1.0.32.
Steps to reproduce the behavior
- The issue occurs consistently.
- I reproduced the problem in a separate, fresh session with the same results.
Expected behavior
After encountering an error related to an unsupported image prompt, the CLI should recover gracefully and continue to operate normally for supported, text-only prompts and commands.
Additional context
No response
