Description
Explain why this feature should be added
Just a quick thought: if I hide a window, I do not want to see it. For example, I may not want to interact (nor tile) my music player, and hence have it hidden until I want to play, say, a new album. However, after tiling a window, tiling assistant will offer to tile hidden windows/apps.
Briefly describe how the feature should work
Never show windows that I have explicitly set to be hidden. Putting this behind an user-facing option might be nice, but then again, there already is an option that gets tiling assistant to show all windows (instead of just those of the current workspace), so adding another option feels redundant.
Also, my reasoning might be off! This is just something that occurred to me just now.

Research direction
No file, test, or entry point is named. Start by tracing how Tiling Assistant gathers windows for its tiling suggestions, then determine how explicitly hidden windows are represented and filtered. Done means hidden windows are never offered as tiling options while the existing workspace-display behavior remains intact.
