* Fix review comments on SDK permission handling PR

Address 5 review comments from PR #1103:

1. Fix invalid object literal syntax (stray comma) in resumeSession
   example in copilot-sdk-nodejs.instructions.md

2. Replace unused PermissionHandler import with actual usage in
   cookbook/copilot-sdk/python/recipe/ralph_loop.py (was using
   inline lambda instead)

3. Replace unused approveAll import with actual usage in
   cookbook/copilot-sdk/nodejs/recipe/ralph-loop.ts (was using
   inline handler instead)

4. Add missing PermissionHandler import to 4 Python code snippets
   in skills/copilot-sdk/SKILL.md that reference it without importing

5. Add missing approveAll import to 3 TypeScript code snippets
   in skills/copilot-sdk/SKILL.md that reference it without importing

* Refactor session creation to improve code formatting and consistency across SDK examples

* Fix formatting: split multi-property lines and put closing braces on own lines

Address review comments on PR #1107:
- Split OnPermissionRequest + Model onto separate lines in Go, C#, TypeScript
- Put closing }); on its own line consistently across all examples
- Fix indentation in SKILL.md Quick Start, CLI URL, Error Handling sections
- Fix cookbook Go multiple-sessions and error-handling formatting
- Fix ralph-loop.md TypeScript indentation

Working with Multiple Sessions

Manage multiple independent conversations simultaneously.

Runnable example: recipe/multiple-sessions.ts
cd recipe && npm install
npx tsx multiple-sessions.ts
# or: npm run multiple-sessions

Example scenario

You need to run multiple conversations in parallel, each with its own context and history.

Node.js

import { CopilotClient, approveAll } from "@github/copilot-sdk";

const client = new CopilotClient();
await client.start();

// Create multiple independent sessions
const session1 = await client.createSession({
    onPermissionRequest: approveAll,
    model: "gpt-5",
});
const session2 = await client.createSession({
    onPermissionRequest: approveAll,
    model: "gpt-5",
});
const session3 = await client.createSession({
    onPermissionRequest: approveAll,
    model: "claude-sonnet-4.5",
});

// Each session maintains its own conversation history
await session1.sendAndWait({ prompt: "You are helping with a Python project" });
await session2.sendAndWait({ prompt: "You are helping with a TypeScript project" });
await session3.sendAndWait({ prompt: "You are helping with a Go project" });

// Follow-up messages stay in their respective contexts
await session1.sendAndWait({ prompt: "How do I create a virtual environment?" });
await session2.sendAndWait({ prompt: "How do I set up tsconfig?" });
await session3.sendAndWait({ prompt: "How do I initialize a module?" });

// Clean up all sessions
await session1.destroy();
await session2.destroy();
await session3.destroy();
await client.stop();

Custom session IDs

Use custom IDs for easier tracking:

const session = await client.createSession({
    onPermissionRequest: approveAll,
    sessionId: "user-123-chat",
    model: "gpt-5",
});

console.log(session.sessionId); // "user-123-chat"

Listing sessions

const sessions = await client.listSessions();
console.log(sessions);
// [{ sessionId: "user-123-chat", ... }, ...]

Deleting sessions

// Delete a specific session
await client.deleteSession("user-123-chat");

Use cases

Multi-user applications: One session per user
Multi-task workflows: Separate sessions for different tasks
A/B testing: Compare responses from different models
