Follow up of last month's work #251561. With the GitHub Pull Request and Issues extension users can now hand off local chat sessions to GitHub Coding Agent, track their status from the PR list view and detail view, browse session logs in editor and checkout PRs with the GitHub Coding Agent context. This was the first step of deep integration of GitHub Coding Agent in VS Code and we will continue the improvements this month.

Our goal is to simplify the creation of GitHub Coding Agent tasks, better integration with the chat sessions and history management, and align the instructions support for VS Code and GitHub Coding Agent.
