Show local machine hostname in Copilot CLI interface #2774

@themactep

Description

@themactep

Summary

Please include the local machine hostname in the Copilot CLI interface context panel.

Motivation

When running multiple shells/machines (local + remote, containers, SSH sessions), it is easy to lose track of where a command will run. Showing hostname directly in the interface would reduce mistakes.

Requested behavior

Add a field in the environment context section, e.g.:

  • Hostname: my-machine

Notes

  • Prefer the actual runtime hostname from the executing environment
  • Keep existing context fields unchanged
  • This should work across Linux/macOS/Windows
