What's Wrong?

In the Claude Code desktop app (Code tab), the @ file mention picker only surfaces packages/directories, not individual files. Typing a filename after @ does not filter to or display matching files.

What Should Happen?

The @ picker should allow searching for and selecting individual files by name, the same way it works in the Claude Code CLI and IDE extensions.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Open the Claude Code desktop app
  2. Navigate to the Code tab
  3. In the chat input, type @ followed by a filename (e.g. @VideoPlayerTest)
  4. Observe that only packages are shown — no individual files appear in the picker
