Auto-expand Folder Contents in Sidebar When Opened as Context

Problem:

When a folder is opened as a context, its contents are not automatically expanded in the sidebar.
This causes confusion — especially for first-time users — as it's unclear what just happened on the screen.
The folder appears to be opened, but no visible change occurs in the UI, leading to disorientation.

Proposed Solution:

  • Automatically expand the folder's contents in the sidebar when it’s opened as a context.

Why it matters:

  • Makes the structure immediately visible and interactive.

  • Reduces cognitive friction and improves onboarding.

  • Aligns with user expectations for folder-based navigation.
