Unable to add-dir with user home directory (Windows) #3719
Description
Describe the bug
When using /add-dir command, if trying to use ~ for home directory, backslash fails to recognize. It's necessary to use forward-slash, but the autocomplete keeps replacing my forward-slash with backslash.
Affected version
GitHub Copilot CLI 1.0.60
Steps to reproduce the behavior
/add-dir ~/.agents/skills
Autocomplete will turn it into ~.agents\skills and I can't override it
add-dir command fails
Expected behavior
Expect /add-dir with ~\ to work correctly OR
Autocomplete doesn't replace / with \
Additional context
Windows 11
Using Windows Terminal with pwsh 7
