What's Wrong?

When I try to use the @ file search inside Claude Code it seems to show inconsistent results depending on the casing I started with, examples below.

What Should Happen?

It should ignore case so the last two examples should show one and two results.

Error Messages/Logs

Steps to Reproduce

I have these files in my project:

Startup.ts
StartupManager.ts

✅ I type: @Startup and it will show both files in the suggestion as expected.

✅ I type: @startup and it will show both files in the suggestion as expected.

✅ I type: @startupman and it will show one file as expected.

✅ I type: @StartupMan (uppercase M) and it will show one file as expected.

❌ I type: @Startupman (lowercase M) and it will show no files. I would expect StartupManager to appear.

❌ I type: @StartUp (uppercase U) and it will show no files. I would expect both files to appear.
