Copilot review overview
🟡 Changes recommended
There is a maintainability concern where a UI class/selector named for “prompt” now represents “description”, which should be reconciled to avoid future confusion.
Once you've addressed the issues Copilot identified, you can request another Copilot review.

What changed in this PR
Backports improved “starter automation templates” into release/1.137, replacing the previous generic templates with three more actionable workflows while keeping the visible/accessibility copy concise and preserving full prompts via hover and the create dialog.
Changes:
- Replaced the template catalogue contents and introduced a concise
descriptionfield per template (with fullpromptretained). - Updated the Automations cards UI to render short descriptions while keeping full prompts on hover and in the create dialog.
- Updated accessibility output and browser tests to validate the new template behavior and copy.
| File | Description |
|---|---|
| src/vs/sessions/contrib/sessions/test/browser/automationsView.test.ts | Updates expectations to cover the new template set and validate concise visible/accessible descriptions vs full prompts. |
| src/vs/sessions/contrib/sessions/browser/views/automationTemplates.ts | Defines the new three-template catalogue and adds description alongside prompt. |
| src/vs/sessions/contrib/sessions/browser/views/automationsView.ts | Renders template cards using description for visible text, keeping prompt in hover and dialog initial values. |
| src/vs/sessions/contrib/sessions/browser/views/automationsAccessibility.ts | Switches accessible template listing from full prompt text to concise description text. |
