What's Wrong?

I can select files in .github/ using @ but the typing experience there is poor and there doesn't appear to be any sort of tab complete to make using it easier. So I tried using the file selection dialog and .github/ doesn't appear in the list since it's hidden.
Claude Code recommended that I added the following, but it didn't resolve the issue and it recommended that I open this bug:

{
  "fileFiltering": {
    "respectHiddenFiles": false
  }
}

What Should Happen?

.github/ is allowed to be selected
