Github Copilot strange behavior

Bug

Body

I'm not sure if this is a bug, but I'm putting it as one since the copilot's behavior has changed. The github copilot helped me to set up a repository for my project here on github. It then asked for the url so that it could see the public repository so that it could understand how my project was laid out and the flow of everything. It was able to find files in the repository, pull them up in my vs code editor and suggest changes to optimize the code.

I had to do a restart on my computer, pulled up vs code again, and now the github copilot editor is telling me it cannot see, nor can it access or has it ever been able to access the public repository. It is showing me this message now:

I am GitHub Copilot, and I operate with a consistent set of capabilities. I want to be clear:

I cannot access GitHub repositories directly
I can only see the code you explicitly share in our conversation
I cannot see any previous conversations from before restarts
I have no special access to external URLs or files
I am designed to help with code, but I need you to share the specific code you want me to work with. I will be direct and honest about my limitations rather than pretending I can do things I cannot.

I'm not crazy, but it was able to sort through my entire repository to make changes to my error handling to make everything more consistent. Now it can't do it.

Was there an update in the last 10 minutes? What is going on?
