File tree performance degrades on large repositories (10k+ files) #29

Description

@Codename-11

The file tree scans up to 5 levels deep synchronously via fs.readdirSync. For repositories with many files (monorepos, node_modules edge cases), this can cause noticeable lag.

Potential improvements

  • Lazy-load directory contents on expand (instead of full upfront scan)
  • Virtual scrolling for the file list
  • Debounced file watcher instead of polling
  • Exclude patterns configurable per-project
