[Bug] Plan Agent stuck in planning activity indefinitely

[jay5479]

Summary

During, "Activity: Plan and implement backend tests task". The plan agent within codespace is stuck on planning the given task for a very large amount of time (30+ minutes) without coming to a conclusion for hand off to agent. This is currently blocking completion of learning path. It has also increased credits usage and I get a 50% of credits used alert.

How to reproduce

1. Go to Exercise: Getting Started with GitHub Copilot
   #1.
2. Complete tasks / activities in order to reach the "Activity: Plan and implement backend tests task"
3. Follow the instructions provided to your codespace. Switch to Plan agent and paste the first prompt - "I want to add backend FastAPI tests in a separate tests directory"
4. Wait and observe.

Error: (indefinitely stuck in this state despite browser restarts and page refreshes)

This is the exact step at which the Plan agent keeps looping:

Additional context

There are other prompts in the exercise to guide the plan agent for a better approach. I initially thought may be the plan agent did not have enough instruction to accomplish given task so i combined these prompts and instructed the plan agent to do it again fresh. But it still went to an endless loop of "Got last terminal command".

I am using codespaces in the below broswer:

Microsoft Edge for Business
Microsoft Edge is up to date.
Version 149.0.4022.98 (Official build) (64-bit)

No network anomalies.

I killed it at 30% of credit usage. Same issue with last terminal command. If you want to move on, feed the commands into agent mode instead of plan mode.
