GitHub mobile app: allow sending !shell commands to a remote Copilot CLI session #3924

Description

@dfrysinger

Summary

When attached to a remote Copilot CLI session from the GitHub mobile app, there is no way to send ! (bang) shell commands. Bang prefix is a first-class CLI input mode on desktop; on mobile it appears not to be routed (or there is no UI to invoke it).

Expected

! shell commands typed in the mobile remote-session text input should be routed to the session and executed exactly as they would be from the desktop CLI, with output streamed back to the mobile view.

Why this matters

Quick !git status / !ls / !ps checks from your phone are exactly the kind of low-friction thing that makes a remote session worth attaching to in the first place.
