## Browse the tree

- The Files panel is opened from the Inspector and shows the **selected workspace's** tree.
- Each folder expands individually and loads on demand.
- The tree is **virtualized**: even with many files, it draws what is in view.
- The action bar has **collapse all** and **reload the files** — reloading is what you use when something changed on disk outside the app.

### States you may find

| State | What it means |
|---|---|
| **Loading** | The folder is being read |
| **Empty** | The folder exists and has no visible content |
| **Error** | The read failed — an access-denied message appears, instead of an empty list |

A read error **is not** the same as an empty folder: if you see access denied, the problem is permission or connection, not missing files.

## Show dotfiles and ignored files

Two independent options in the action bar:

- **Show dotfiles** — includes files and folders that start with a dot.
- **Show git-ignored files** — includes what `.gitignore` hides.

Both are **per worktree**: turning one on does not turn on the other.

> The ignored-files switch only appears when it makes sense for that workspace. Not finding it is not a defect.

## Git status markers

The tree rows show each file's **status** relative to the active worktree's git — modified, added, deleted and the other known states.

- The status comes from the **project's git**, not from the panel: it is the same information the git area shows.
- The markers are a reading, not a command: clicking the row opens the file, it does not stage or discard the change.
- If the markers look out of date, **reload the files** from the action bar.

## Where this differs from what you expect

- **The tree is not the whole project folder when the workspace points at a subfolder.** It shows the selected workspace's folder.
- **The tree hides nothing on its own** beyond what the two options control: if a file does not appear, check whether it is a dotfile or is in `.gitignore`.
