I ran into two usability problems in Copilot workspace sessions:

1. Ignored files cannot be edited from the Files window
Files like app/etc/env.php are intentionally git-ignored because they configure the local environment. In Magento projects these files are essential for local development. The Files window/editor can hide or make ignored files read-only, which makes local environment setup harder than necessary. There should be a way to show and edit ignored local files, preferably with a clear warning that they are ignored/sensitive and should not be committed.

2. Changes window compares against master instead of the checked-out branch upstream
In a session checked out on a feature branch, the Changes window compares the branch against origin/master. That is not always useful. When working on an existing feature branch, I usually want to see only what changed locally after the last commit, or the difference between my local branch and origin/. Comparing everything to master shows the whole feature branch history and makes it hard to see my actual current changes.

Beide Berichte in den Fenstern Files und Changes reproduzieren, wobei eine ignorierte lokale Datei wie app/etc/env.php und ein ausgecheckter Feature-Branch verwendet werden. Die Workspace-Session-Verarbeitung auf Sichtbarkeit und Bearbeitbarkeit von Dateien sowie das Verhalten beim Branch-Vergleich untersuchen; abgeschlossen ist die Aufgabe, wenn ignorierte Dateien mit einem deutlichen Warnhinweis bearbeitet werden können und Changes den relevanten lokalen oder Upstream-Diff des ausgewählten Branches anzeigt.
