Bug Report: @ Reference Feature Doesn't Include Additional Workspace Files

Issue Description

The @ reference feature in Claude Code does not include files from additional workspaces that have been added to the permissions.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Start Claude Code in a primary working directory (e.g., /Users/notdp/Developer/python/ranni/ranni-api)
  2. Add an additional workspace directory through the permissions dialog (e.g., /Users/notdp/Developer/python/ranni/docs)
  3. Try to use the @ reference feature to reference files
  4. Observe that only files from the primary working directory are available for reference, not files from the additional workspace

Expected Behavior

Files from all permitted workspace directories should be available for @ reference, including both the primary working directory and any additional workspaces added through permissions.

Actual Behavior

Only files from the primary working directory are available for @ reference. Files from additional workspaces added through permissions are not included in the @ reference suggestions.

Environment

  • Working directory: /Users/notdp/Developer/python/ranni/ranni-api
  • Additional workspace: /Users/notdp/Developer/python/ranni/docs
  • Platform: macOS (Darwin 24.5.0)

Impact

This limitation prevents users from easily referencing files across multiple related directories in a project, reducing the effectiveness of the @ reference feature for multi-directory projects.

Environment Info

  • Platform: darwin
  • Terminal: cursor
  • Version: 1.0.55
  • Feedback ID: 4d044029-885c-437e-893e-9c58d99a9d1f
