[FEATURE] Cowork: show full folder path (not just basename) for connected context folders in the Context panel

What's the problem?

In a Cowork project, the Context panel lists each connected folder by its basename only, not its full path. When several connected folders share the same or a very similar name (for example multiple OneDrive subfolders that all start with the same synced-account prefix), there is no way to tell from the panel which physical folder is actually attached.

In my case I have a folder attached to a project but I cannot confirm which one it is, because the panel only shows the folder name and truncates or omits the full path. Hovering does not reveal it either.

This is a folder-management / orientation gap rather than a mount failure: the folder works, I just cannot see which folder it is.

Current behavior

• Context panel shows only the folder basename.
• With similarly-named folders the entries are indistinguishable.
• No tooltip, no copy-path affordance, no way to expand to the absolute path.

Proposed solution

Show enough of the path to disambiguate connected folders. Any of the following (in order of preference) would resolve it:

1. Show the basename by default, with the full absolute path revealed on hover (tooltip).
2. Provide a "Copy path" action in the folder's context menu / row.
3. Allow the row to expand to show the full path, or show a truncated path with the meaningful (distinguishing) segments preserved rather than the leading ones.

There is a directly analogous, already-accepted request in the Codex Desktop tracker (openai/codex#26386) that proposes exactly this pattern: basename by default, full path on hover/copy.

• anthropics/claude-code#40043 (no way to remove a connected folder from a project's context)
• anthropics/claude-code#79365 (new project name reverts to folder filepath)
• anthropics/claude-code#40300 and #36313 (no way to revisit / manage folder permissions)

These all point at the same broader gap: connected-folder management in the project Context panel is currently hard to inspect and control.
