Describe the bug

I have zbirenbaum/copilot.lua and folke/sidekick.nvim in Neovim.

My configuration for sidekick mux:

      cli = {
        mux = {
          enabled = true,
          backend = 'tmux',
          create = 'split',
        },
      },

No copilot cli is running.

  • With require('sidekick.cli').toggle() it shows me Copilot cli as if it were present (orange toggle icon) in tmux and want to attach, but nothing happend.

    Image
  • With deactivated Copilot in zbirenbaum/copilot.lua it shows me Copilot cli unused (package icon) and I can open and attach to it in a new tmux split.

A quick test with gemini cli works in booth scenarios.
