Research direction

Start by reading the existing setting that auto-tracks and attaches the Copilot window to Xcode, then review the proposed Auto-attach Chat Window to Xcode change in commit cb32356f713097dc76d01495 c6d9abeb3161037a. Implement the option so Xcode projects and workspaces attach while standalone files such as JSON and settings files do not, and verify both cases in Xcode.

Description

Feature is great but lacks ability to attach Copilot only to Xcode projects, ignoring random files opened by Xcode (JSONs, settings files, etc).

Please take a look at proposal of new Auto-attach Chat Window to Xcode setting:
