Research direction

Start in the /chat flow and reproduce the repository-copy workflow on Windows 10 with app version 1.0.8. Trace how changes made through the provided VS Code handle are checked against the original repository. Done means changes in the copied repository are detected or the relationship between the copy and original is made clear to the user.
