  1. Describe the issue/feature here.

When working on a windows host but developing within WSL the agent is not fully aware that it is run inside WSL. When files are created it saves them in C:\home<username>... instead of saving them inside the WSL filesystem. It also often appears it has trouble finding files on the filesystem when they are in WSL.

Just to confirm, you opened the folder as a workspace, right?

I would believe so? I normally always open VSCode, connect the VSCode window to WSL, and then go file open and then open the folder I was working in.

@andrewpareles 100% confirm folder is opened as a workspace. Is there anyways I can generate debug logs from a conversation? I can get the gather mode relatively often to try to search for files on my windows host and not within the WSL filesystem.

This is the same thing I see on my system. Agent insists that it has created a file in the workspace but it's actually in the home directory of my C drive
