Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes/No
Yes

• VS Code Version: 1.100.0 and 1.101.0-insider
• OS Version: Elementary OS 8 (Ubuntu 24.04)

Steps to Reproduce:

1. I added the new instructions.md instructions into a .github/instructions folder. Set them to apply to all files using applyTo: '**'.
2. I asked a question and the instructions were applied, as expected:

3. I ask another question without setting any context and the instructions are now duplicated as seen in the picture:

Is there a reason why the instructions are getting added to the context selection for the subsequent prompts? Is this an expected behaviour?
