The Files tab: a collapsible tree of the entire worktree with a file count.

The tree#

Open the Files tab in the right panel to see the worktree as a nested tree. Folders expand and collapse; a toolbar shows the total file count and a refresh button. Heavy build directories (node_modules, .git, dist, target, .next, and similar) are skipped so the tree stays fast and readable.

Reading a file#

Click any file to open a read-only viewer in place, with a back button to return to the tree. This is handy for giving the agent context or checking what it produced without leaving the app.

Safe by design

File reads go through a guarded backend command: paths are confined to the worktree (no traversal out), binary files are rejected, and reads are capped at ~400 KB. The viewer shows raw text — for change review use the diff viewer instead.

Files vs. Diff#

The Files tab is a whole-tree browser with no git status. The Diff tab is the place to review what changed — they share the right panel and switch via the tab header.
