## Why The Files window provides cross-endpoint transfers, but its source and destination states are visually dense and file selection can look like an immediate download. Local browser uploads also cannot reuse the destination workflow. ## What changed - Add sortable file metadata, directory-first ordering, prefix navigation, refresh controls, and detailed selection information. - Switch Copy to a focused destination pane and keep cancellation available before publish. - Allow browser-selected files to target compatible SSH or local endpoints while preserving explicit Download and endpoint capability checks. - Reset the window to its source pane on reopen and retain the existing typed backend transfer path. ## Testing Covers the complete headless smoke suite and Chromium Files workflows, including sorting, selection, destination navigation, local uploads, cross-endpoint copies, and cancellation.

Why
The Files window supports SSH and local cross-endpoint copies, but its source and destination states are visually dense, file selection can look like an immediate download, and browser-selected uploads cannot reuse the destination workflow. This is the next minor release target after v2.9.0.
What changed
Testing
Covers the complete headless backend and agent boundary suite plus Chromium Files workflows for sorting, selection, destination navigation, local uploads, cross-endpoint copies, and cancellation.
