Problem Statement

When running Claude Code from a parent directory that contains nested git repositories (e.g., a monorepo-style setup), the @ file picker only shows top-level entries and does not allow drilling into subdirectories that are their own git repos.

Current Behavior

The @ picker stops at the git boundary of nested repos

Proposed Solution

The @ picker should allow recursive browsing into subdirectories even if they are independent git repositories, so users can reference files across the full workspace.
