Show full file paths when manually adding context to avoid ambiguity between files with the same name
What feature would you like to see?
Problem
When manually adding context, files are listed by filename only (with a truncated path), and the full file path is not visible.
In deeply nested directories, it’s common to have multiple files with the same name (e.g. handler.go). Because the full path is hidden or truncated, it’s impossible to tell which file is which.
As a result, users cannot confidently determine which file they are adding, and may easily select the wrong one.

Expected Behavior
When manually adding context, the UI should display the full file path (or at least enough of it) so that files with identical names can be clearly distinguished, even in deeply nested directory structures.

I also have this problem when adding logs for inspection. What makes things worse, clicking on the + for adding context initially shows a cached file index, making it more likely to select wrong files and not seeing the recent files at all.
I usually delete/re-edit the file name to trigger a refresh.
There may be good reasons for having this file cache, but I don't see the benefit compared to a simple file dialog (with potential multi-selection capability).
This feature request hasn't received enough upvotes, so I'm going to close it.
