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.

Reproduire les deux rapports dans les fenêtres Files et Changes en utilisant un fichier local ignoré tel que app/etc/env.php et une branche de fonctionnalité extraite. Examiner la gestion des sessions du workspace pour la visibilité et la possibilité de modifier les fichiers, ainsi que le comportement de comparaison des branches ; le travail est terminé lorsque les fichiers ignorés peuvent être modifiés avec un avertissement clair et que Changes affiche le diff local ou upstream pertinent de la branche sélectionnée.
