I’m using Cursor with a workspace (via `cursor ./project.code-workspace`), but the assistant’s access to files is very limited. Both directory listings and searches are limited to the `.github` directory, and I can’t find a way for the assistant to read the rest of the workspace. When I open my repo as a folder (via `cursor`), then the assistant is able to search and list files correctly. ![Screenshot 2025-03-07 at 11.07.11](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/cursor1/original/3X/6/b/6b66ac3119ccd48b0a36a7c04d0eae795fb075aa.png) ![Screenshot 2025-03-07 at 11.09.30](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/cursor1/original/3X/6/4/6436c5a68976a0367dc4cec23bad08febaa6f4b0.png) I have deleted and resynced my codebase index several times, but the issue remains. I have also attempted opening other repos in workspace mode, and Cursor is unable to work with them. ![Screenshot 2025-03-07 at 11.10.50](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/cursor1/original/3X/f/7/f7daec184a0f3ee6bbe8b952b1e7c2c4f52796c3.png) ---
