AI‑FDE: Container state visibility and optional per‑session workspace
Hi, When using AI‑FDE concurrently (multiple sessions and/or human+AI on the same repo), shared container/git state can easily lead to conflicting branch switches and uncommitted changes. In practice, you really need to commit/clean the container before switching to another subject, otherwise later work can be affected in surprising ways. Today I can ask AI‑FDE explicitly to show git status or clean/reset the container, and that works, but it relies on me remembering to do so at the right times. The existing warning on dirty containers is also helpful, but it often arrives “late” (only once I’ve already started new work). Are there plans to: Expose container/git state more clearly in the AI‑FDE UI (active repo/branch and whether the working tree is clean or dirty), and Provide a simple UX to either reset the container to a known‑good state or launch a dedicated/isolated workspace for a given session or task? This would make concurrent work with AI‑FDE smoother a
