Research direction
Investigate the implementation of Solution.AddAdditionalDocument in Roslyn's workspace APIs. Look for where the project item type is set and ensure it uses the AdditionalFiles item type instead of None. Check existing tests for AdditionalDocuments and verify the expected behavior. Review comments in the issue for potential fix suggestions.
