Research direction

Start at the /chat entry point and reproduce the file-viewer behavior in GitHub Copilot app 1.0.24 on Windows 10, making edits with Copilot before reopening the file. Done means the viewer displays the latest file contents without requiring a workaround such as closing and reopening the tab.
