What's Wrong?
When using the @ file mention to reference project files, the search is case-sensitive. If a filename uses mixed case (e.g. UserProfile.tsx), typing it in all lowercase returns no results, forcing users to remember exact casing to find files.
What Should Happen?
The @ file search should match files case-insensitively, similar to how most modern editors (VS Code, JetBrains, Zed) handle fuzzy file search. Typing @userprofile should surface UserProfile.tsx.
