Description
### Describe the bug
OS: Windows11
Node: node-v24.11.1-win-x64
When launching copilot under Ramdisk, I cannot access any directories.
When launching copilot under a non-Ramdisk environment, you can access directories normally, including those of Ramdisk.
### Affected version
after 1.0.43
### Steps to reproduce the behavior
1. Set up a Ramdisk, R:
2. Start copilot under R:
3. Have the Agent list the directory structure of any directory
4. In any non-Ramdisk directory, such as C:, start copilot
5. Have the Agent list the directory structure of any directory
### Expected behavior
Ramdisk should not be a limiting factor for copilot
### Additional context

Research direction
Reproduce the directory-listing steps on Windows 11 with copilot-cli started from the R: Ramdisk and compare them with a launch from C:. The report names no source file, test, or entry point, so first trace the directory-listing path and capture the failing access behavior. Done means directories are accessible when copilot-cli starts under a Ramdisk, while the existing non-Ramdisk behavior remains working.
