[FEATURE] Update Diff/File Panel immediately

Preflight Checklist
- [x] I have searched existing requests and this feature hasn't been requested yet
- [x] This is a single feature request (not multiple features)
Problem Statement
When Claude creates (or deletes) a commit, files or directories I'd expect that I see it immediately in the files/diff dialog (at least after the prompt has finished)
But actually I not only do not see the current state of the directory/git branch, but I even have no option to reload them.
Proposed Solution
Either watch files and update them directly on change (like vscode) or update files, directories and git commits always when a prompt finished.
Alternative Solutions
Provide a "Refresh" button (including keyboard shortcut)
Priority
Critical - Blocking my work
Feature Category
Developer tools/SDK
Use Case Example
- open file pane (Ctrl-Shift-F)
- ask claude to create a file
- look at file pane: no file visible
