FileSurfer in Magentic-One no longer able to find or list files after 0.5.1 update. Keeps returning FileNotFoundError

[zytoh0]

What happened?

Describe the bug After upgrading to python-v0.5.1, FileSurfer can no longer locate or read local files that exist. Attempting to access a simple test folder causes the agent to return FileNotFoundError, despite the folder being valid and files existing and accessible via Explorer or standard Python libraries.

0.4.9 works

After 0.5.1 update

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce:

1. Create a folder locally at C:\Users\User\Documents\test
2. Place any test file inside (e.g., example.txt)
3. Run the following Magentic-One CLI command: m1 "Ask FileSurfer to find out the contents of this folder: C:\Users\User\Documents\test"
4. Output:

---------- FileSurfer ----------
Path: C:\Users\User\Documents\test
Title: FileNotFoundError
Viewport position: Showing page 1 of 1.
=======================
# FileNotFoundError

File not found: C:\Users\User\Documents\test
