# refactor(e2e/copilot): extract startup-dialog detection into helper

`2e2ff13`→[main](/content/gh/entireio/cli/commits/main/index.html)·

Soph·1mo ago·1 file·+10 added/-1 removed

Pull the inline "is this the prompt or a startup dialog?" check in
StartSession out into a named isStartupDialog() helper. Pure refactor,
no behavior change — this isolates the dialog-detection logic so the
follow-up fix has a single place to harden.
