Description

### Description

After manually renaming a file in the project navigator and clicking away to commit the change, multiple alerts appear saying: **"Cannot find file"** — even though the rename appears to succeed.

### Steps to Reproduce

1. Manually rename a file in the project navigator.
2. Click away to commit the new name.
3. Observe multiple _"Cannot find file"_ alerts.

### Expected Behavior

- The rename should complete silently with no errors, assuming the file exists and is correctly renamed.

### Actual Behavior

- Several alerts appear saying the file cannot be found, despite it appearing correctly renamed.

### Version Information

macOS: 15.4 Beta (24E5238a)
CodeEdit: Version 0.3.4-alpha (45)

### Additional Context

This may be related to how the rename operation is propagated or when the file is registered with the internal file system state.
