I took a look — this seems to be a case where the implementation doesn't match the documentation, likely because it hasn't been finished yet.

On the TUI side, the @ autocomplete has a control path for reference aliases: once it detects the user has typed a reference alias (e.g. @docs), it skips the file search entirely and never looks inside the reference directory — so no files show up no matter what's in there.

The desktop side doesn't seem to have implemented reference alias autocomplete at all, as far as I can tell.

From what I can see in the code, the backend search API already supports scoping to a specific directory, so this should only need changes in the TUI autocomplete component.

this has not been implemented on the desktop app. it is only in the tui for now. we'll add it to the desktop soon
