Not able to create new files from terminal

[shhdharmen]

Describe the bug

Even after keeping allowRedirects: true (under terminals > panels) and watch: true (under filesystem), we are not able to create new files from terminal. Example: echo hello > world.txt. Observe that file is created in webcontainer fs, but not getting reflected in editor's file-tree.

Link to a StackBlitz project which shows the error

Steps to reproduce

1. Go to https://stackblitz.com/edit/tutorialkit-api-use-helpbutton-yfxyqb?file=src%2Fcontent%2Ftutorial%2F1-basics%2F1-introduction%2F1-welcome%2Fcontent.mdx
2. Click on "Toggle Terminal"
3. Go to interactive "Terminal"
4. Write command to create file, example echo hello > world.txt
5. Observe that file is created in webcontainer's fs using ls
6. Observe that file is not reflected in editor's file-tree

Expected behavior

If we keep allowRedirects: true, it should show newly created file in editor's file-tree

For example, if we write echo hello > world.txt in interactive terminal, it should create file named "world.txt" in editor's file-tree.

To include new added files into watch, you need pass glob patterns that match these files. It's recommended to be as specific as possible with these patterns. So based on your reproduction something like below should work:

filesystem:
  watch: ['/hello.txt']

Watching whole file system for new files is expensive for performance - that's why filesystem.watch: true won't consider newly added files, it only watches existing files.
