Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue with os.listdir('/') in the Python WebAssembly environment and inspect how the virtual filesystem is initialized. Done means listing '/' includes the virtual /workspace directory without removing the existing environment files.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

If you do an os.listdir('/') you get the files in the Python WebAssembly environment (e.g. python.wasm), but not the virtual /workspace directory.
