Description

Type: Bug

Reverting to version 1.133 fixes this.

Opening a previous folder located on a remote ssh nfs system. The agent is not able to access previously generated files and thus asks for permission citing " links to , which is outside the current folder" When hovering above the local path is shown, when hovering above the links to the full nfs path is shown. e.g. doc/AGENT_ONBOARDING.md vs /nfs/my/path/to/my/folder/docs/AGENT_ONBOARDING.md.

The agent or stack cannot tell that these are the same thing, even though the folder opened was specified as /nfs/my/path/to/my/folder
