Research direction

Start by tracing the extension's Run button execution path and how it establishes the working directory. Verify how /workspace is represented, then make the completed behavior use it as the current directory so code can read and write workspace files consistently with other extensions.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

That would match how other extensions use the Run button. It also makes it easier to read/write files in the workspace.
