When this repository is opened from a git worktree path, the Excalidraw VS Code extension fails to open .excalidraw files even though the files exist on disk and contain valid JSON.

Problem

Opening .excalidraw files from a repository checked out as a git worktree fails in VS Code with a file resolution error, even though the file exists on disk and contains valid JSON.

Example worktree path:

/Users/architjain/developer/project/project.worktrees/develop

Example file:

packages/business-rules-architecture.excalidraw

Error seen:

Unable to resolve nonexistent file '/Users/architjain/developer/project/test.worktrees/develop/packages/business-rules-architecture.excalidraw'
