Show GitHub hostname for all footer account identities (via option) #4666
Describe the feature or problem you'd like to solve
The Copilot CLI footer shows an account from a custom GitHub Enterprise domain as username@blabla.ghe.com, but shows a GitHub.com account as only username. An
identity loaded through GitHub CLI is displayed as username (via gh) without
its resolved hostname.
This is ambiguous when the same login exists on GitHub.com and a GitHub
Enterprise host, or when gh is authenticated to multiple hosts. In particular,
the footer does not make it clear which underlying account Copilot is using.
Proposed solution
Add an option to always display the resolved GitHub hostname for the active
identity in the footer, including the default public host:
Alternatively, provide a footer setting that enables the hostname explicitly.
The selected gh account and hostname should be visible together.
Related issue
This is related to #3897, which reports incorrect account selection in a
multi-account setup, but this request is specifically about making the active
identity unambiguous in the CLI footer.
Additional context
Running /user currently only shows the username for both GitHub.com and via gh
identities, so it does not resolve the ambiguity either.

never mind, reread this issue, this is about the footer, not about the info you see when running
/user switch
