Clicking a file path an agent mentioned failed with "No file found"
whenever git ignored the file, which covers anything written under a
scratch directory such as .dev/.
Backticked paths do not open directly. They resolve through the
directory-suggestions RPC, which the daemon runs with gitignore
filtering on for every workspace search. findExactEntry resolved the
path, confirmed it stayed inside the workspace root, and then discarded
it on the ignore check.
Ignore filtering belongs to discovery. It keeps build output out of the
composer's @-mention picker and out of the directory chooser, and both
of those keep it. It does not belong to retrieval of a path the caller
named exactly, where containment inside the root is the only question
left. That check is now dropped from the exact-path branch alone.
This does not widen what is readable. The file-read path applies no
ignore filtering at all; resolveScopedPath checks only root containment,
before and after resolving symlinks. Every file this surfaces was
already readable through the file explorer.
