FleetView file-preview pane fails to read files written during chip session ("File could not be read…lives outside the session folder")

What's Wrong?
When a chip writes a file via the Write tool to an absolute path inside the
project root (e.g. /Users/<me>/Downloads/<Project>/_PROJECTS/foo/bar.md),
the file IS written successfully — ls confirms it on disk — but the FleetView
right-rail file-preview pane shows:
"File could not be read. It may have been deleted or moved, or it lives outside the session folder."
This makes file-based collaboration unworkable: the chip writes a doc, I can't
open it from FleetView, the chip has to re-paste the entire file inline,
burning context for nothing.
What Should Happen?
preview pane shows the file. simple, easy, peasy.

Steps to Reproduce
Repro:
- Open a chip in FleetView attached to a project at
/Users/me/Downloads/My Project/. - Have the chip
Writeto/Users/me/[dir]/My Project/_PROJECTS/foo/test.md. - Tool reports success.
lsfrom a terminal shows the file. - In FleetView, click the linked filename in the chip's message OR the file chip on the right rail.
- Result: "File could not be read…outside the session folder."
