Description

**Mood:** 😔
**Category:** Requests and ideas

It would be very helpful if the GitHub Copilot App showed untracked files in the Changes view.
Right now, untracked files are not visible there, which makes it easy to miss newly created files during review and PR preparation.

Could you either:

Always include untracked files in Changes, or
Provide a toggle (e.g., “Show untracked files”) so users can switch this behavior on/off?
This would improve reliability and reduce accidental omissions.
