Project files unavailable for reference in chat inside a devcontainer

Hello

I open a devcontainer in Cursor for a project.
I am on a Mac, usign Colima as Docker runner. Devcontainer is based on Debian (MS .NET 6.0).

Devcontainer completes loading and I can see the files in my workspace

However in the AI chat I can then only reference files under the devcontainer folder.
See the screenshot.

How can I fix that so that the AI chat in the devcontainer can see the entire project and i can reference the files with @?

I must be missing something basic in the setup of my devcontainer.

Thank you
