Bug Description
Feature request: scrollable MCP elicitation prompts. When an MCP server sends an elicitation/create request with a long multi-line message plus options, the prompt renders in a fixed area that doesn't scroll — the message overflows and the response options (Accept/Decline) get pushed off-screen and become unreachable. The only workaround is shrinking the terminal font. The main conversation and tool results scroll (PgUp/PgDn/mouse), but the elicitation prompt doesn't. Please add scrolling (keyboard/mouse) to the elicitation prompt, and document a max-length + best practice for long elicitation content.
Note: Github Copilot CLI shows the whole message
