Research direction

Start by reproducing the failure with multiple workspace folders and trace the path used by std::fs::read_to_string to obtain real files. Identify how workspace paths are resolved and confirm that reads work for each workspace folder; the issue is done when the missing-file prompt no longer occurs in that setup.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

feature-request

When there are multiple working spaces, by obtaining the real files through std::fs::read_to_string, it is prompted that the file does not exist.
