Copilot always tries unix command before PowerShell
Describe the bug
I'm running copilot-cli on Windows in PowerShell.
I have the following in my custom-instructions.md file:
- Assume that you are running in a Windows environment.
- Any shell or terminal commands/syntax should be PowerShell native commands and any paths should use Windows-style backslashes.
- DO NOT use Unix/Linux-style commands or paths unless explicitly instructed otherwise.
However, copilot almost always tries to use Unix/Linux shell commands like grep, head, wc, etc, before trying PowerShell.
Example:
✔ List build errors by file $ dotnet build --nologo --tl:off 2>&1 | grep ".cs(" | head -20 └ 7 lines...
✔ List build errors by file $ dotnet build --nologo --tl:off 2>&1 | Select-String ".cs(" | Select-Object -First 20
Affected version
0.0.365
Steps to reproduce the behavior

Expected behavior
Copilot CLI understanding that it is running in a Windows PowerShell environment and using PowerShell command instead of Unix/Linux style commands
