GitHub Copilot no longer recognizes markings in scripts and doesn't detect the open script itself unless it's attached again.

Body

The issue appears to be that GitHub Copilot has lost the ability to:

Recognize markings/annotations within the currently open script
Detect the open script file itself in the active editor
Access the script content unless the file is explicitly re-attached to the conversation
This seems to be a regression in Copilot's file detection and context awareness capabilities.

Alternatively, if you want a more detailed version:

GitHub Copilot Context Detection Issue: Loss of Script Recognition and Marking Detection

I'm experiencing an issue where GitHub Copilot no longer properly recognizes:

Script markings/annotations within the currently open file
The open script itself in the active VS Code editor
File content unless the script is manually re-attached to the conversation
Expected Behavior: Copilot should automatically detect and work with the currently open file and recognize any markings or selections within it.

Current Behavior: Copilot appears to have no awareness of the open script unless it's explicitly attached again to the conversation.

This seems to be a regression in Copilot's file detection and context awareness functionality.
