The backslashes in /allow-all [on\|off\|show] are inside an inline code span, so they will render literally (showing \|) rather than escaping the table delimiter. Consider reverting to /allow-all [on|off|show] inside backticks (GFM tables handle | inside code spans), or use an HTML entity for the pipe if you need to support parsers that don’t.

In fact \| is escaping the table delimiter, and that's what we need. Otherwise /allow-all [on|off|show] renders multiple | aka table delimiters.

The hands-on examples focused on reviewing and refactoring `book_app.py`. Now practice the same skills on a different file, `utils.py`:

1. Start an interactive session: `copilot`
2. Ask Copilot CLI to summarize the file: `@samples/book-app-project/utils.py What does each function in this file do?`
2. Ask Copilot CLI to summarize the file: "Summarize @samples/book-app-project/utils.py and explain what each function in this file does"
3. Ask it to add input validation: "Add validation to `get_user_choice()` so it handles empty input and non-numeric entries"
4. Ask it to improve error handling: "What happens if `get_book_details()` receives an empty string for the title? Add guards for that."
5. Ask for a docstring: "Add a comprehensive docstring to `get_book_details()` with parameter descriptions and return values"
