Start copilot --acp and send initialize, then session/new.
Send session/prompt asking the model to call the task tool once with agent_type: "my-agent".
The tool_call_update for the task call has status failed and the error above.
Repeat step 3 with agent_type: "explore". It completes.
Repeat with copilot --acp --prefer-version 1.0.88. my-agent completes.
Expected behavior
The custom agent runs and returns its result, as it does in 1.0.88 and in copilot -p.
Additional context
Windows 11, x86_64. ACP over stdio from a Node client, no terminal emulator involved.
Possible cause, an inference from reading the bundled JavaScript and not confirmed: before 1.0.89, ACP sessions routed host effects to runNativeSessionHostEffect, which handles custom_agent_prompt. From 1.0.89, ACP goes through the native sessions server, and its clientSession/hostEffect path calls runServerHostEffect, which only handles server effects and throws for custom_agent_prompt. The version results above are tested.
Workaround: copilot --acp --prefer-version 1.0.88, when that version is cached.
