Describe the bug
The /plugins TUI displays the same checkmark for both enabled and disabled skills, making their current state indistinguishable.
Disabling an enabled skill also does not persist. The checkmark briefly changes to a dot while the TUI refreshes, then returns. The skill remains enabled, so this does not appear to be only a visual issue.
Expected behavior:
- Enabled and disabled skills have distinct visual states.
- Disabling a skill persists and prevents the skill from being active.
Affected version
GitHub Copilot CLI 1.0.79
Steps to reproduce the behavior
- Open the /plugins TUI.
- Navigate to the list of installed skills.
- Select an enabled skill and disable it.
- Observe that its checkmark briefly changes to a dot.
- Wait for the TUI to refresh.
- Observe that the checkmark returns and the skill remains enabled.
Expected behavior
- Enabled and disabled skills have distinct visual states.
- Disabling a skill persists and deactivates it.
