Description

Hi team, the extension automatically attaches full workspace and open-file context in the background on every request. This instantly causes a '413 Request too large' token limit error when using strict API providers like Groq's free tier. Please add an easily visible toggle in the chat UI to disable automatic context fetching, so we can stay under token limits by only manually tagging files

Research direction

Start at the /chat entry point and trace where full workspace and open-file context is automatically attached to requests. Add the visible chat toggle so users can disable automatic context fetching while retaining manual file tagging. Done means requests no longer include automatic context when the toggle is off, avoiding the reported token-limit error.
