Describe the bug

When writing to more than one files, especially when refactoring codes, copilot for Xcode likely to writing to the wrong file. That means it overwrites content to a file should be written to another. This issue is so big. As we have to drop all changes and both times and tokens are wasted.

Currently, I have to switch Copilot CLI to refactor code, which has no issue. So I think if this issue is related to Xcode, you may be consider using the raw file on the disk instead of operate them through Xcode.
