I often want to start a new session w/o having a branch or PR but explore a folders/files in a repo to better formulate the ask for the agent.

I'm currently doing this by sending a "." to the agent. It works but it's clumsy. Would be great to be able to see files and folders before the first message to the agent.

Start at the /chat path and reproduce a new session with no branch or pull request, using the current workaround of sending a period as the first agent message. Explore how the session is initialized and define done as showing repository folders and files before the first agent message, without requiring a branch or pull request.
