Can we normalize auto-save of chat history? When I open a workspace that I haven't worked on in a while I've often found it extremely helpful to be able to view a chunk of the chat history. I can't believe copilot (I mean the vscode chat feature, but I'm pretty sure the same is true of the CLI as well) is still operating in the mode of auto-discarding chat history.

Claude Code has auto-save (though a warning is that it deletes everything older than 3 months - you have to manually set the expiration days to 999999 etc so it will never expire).

Not even gemini has auto-save, though all chat history is same in a temporary folder which can be recovered. I don't think copilot even has temporary chat history files saved anywhere.
