Research direction

Start by examining how CopilotForXcode discovers files from an Xcode workspace and its included projects. Reproduce the layout with common/xcproj, ios/xcworkspace, ios/xcproj, and mac, then determine whether files in the submodule are visible. Done means the shared project files can be found across the workspace, or the limitation and required project support are documented.

Description

reviewed

I have a common code project shared between multiple platform project, my iOS/Mac projects is submodule in a git, structure is like:

my-app
|_ common
-|_ xcproj
|_ ios
-|_ xcworkspace
-|_ xcproj
|_ mac

The problem is that the copilot cannot find the file in the common project even if the workspace included it, resulting in error/repeatitive searching file, how should I deal with this or a new feature is needed? Thanks!
