[Bug]: Refresh files whenever the agent edits/creates/deletes a file

[rbren]

Is there an existing issue for the same bug?

• I have checked the existing issues.

Describe the bug and reproduction steps

Pretty easy to repro:

• as the agent to create foo.txt
• agent writes the file
• workspace tab doesn't show the new foo.txt

We should refresh list-files whenever the agent does a file operation. Possibly whenever it does any command

OpenHands Installation

Hmmmm I know the workspace doesn't update all the time. However, for creating the files, editing files, it does auto update.
The only time I've seen it not auto-update is this flow:

• Open VSCode
• Edit file
• Go back to OpenHands UI

In this scenario, you have to click on the file again to make it update.
