code-server cannot view or edit any files in the Desktop, Documents, or Downloads folders, even after granting Terminal full disk privileges. There's no error, the folders just appear as empty. I can create files/folders through code-server in those locations, but any new file created there instantly disappears from code-server, while still being visible in Finder.
