Duplicate custom agents in /agent command selection menu

[aoken0714]

Describe the bug

When using the /agent command in GitHub Copilot CLI, the same custom agent is displayed twice in the selection menu.

Affected version

0.0.354

Steps to reproduce the behavior

1. Custom agents are defined only at the Repository-level.
2. The custom agent file has been pushed to the remote repository.
3. Using the /agent command.
4. The same custom agent appears twice in the selection menu.

Expected behavior

The same custom agent should not be displayed twice.
(Sorry if duplicate displays were expected)

Hey @aoken0714, I would expect deduplication to occur based on the file name in this case. Do you have an example custom agent where this is occurring?

@williammartin
Thank you for looking at the issue I created.

This is the custom agent file.

Right, this is almost certainly because your file is test.agent.md and whatever logic exists to handle that is different server side than client side and they aren't being deduped correctly. Likely, one is returning test and the other test.agent or something to that effect!

If your file were test.md, I would expect they get deduped correctly.

Thanks for the report!

Went looking to fix this and found that @ellismg had already fixed it ✨

@aoken0714 The fix for this will be in the next @github/copilot release or you can pull down our prerelease with npm i -g @github/copilot@prerelease

Could you clarify if the fix is via deduping? My expectations are that the agents are reflecting the tip of the tree state of the code. As in if I replace one set of agents with another set in my last local commit, I only see the new set of agents. Otherwise it is impossible to verify the state of the repo before pushing it.
