Bug Description

I'm using a symlink to link to a directory, but I cannot use a @ to add a file inside that directory, and the Search tool isn't able to find the files inside it.

The directory structure is shown below:
workspace
|- admin-api -> ../backend/admin-api
|- admin-web -> ../backend/admin-web
|- CLAUDE.md
|- docs
|- README.md

Expected Behavior

<!-- What you expected to happen -->
I can use a @ to add a specific file.
The Search tool can locate files within the symlink directory.
