Does not refresh when filename contains glob metacharacters like “[” or “{”

[rippleBryant]

Summary

When a file whose name contains glob metacharacters (e.g., “[”, “]”, “?”, “*”, “{”, “}”, “(”, “)”, “!”, “+”, “@”) is opened in Hex Editor, the view does not refresh after the file changes on disk. It looks like the watcher builds a vscode.RelativePattern using the raw file name without escaping, so the file name is interpreted as a glob and the change event doesn’t match.

Environment

OS: Windows 11
VS Code: 1.103.1
Hex Editor: 1.11.1

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create a file with a glob metacharacter in its name, e.g.: C:\temp[name].bin
2. Open that file in Hex Editor.
3. Modify the file from another process.
4. Observe that Hex Editor does not refresh. Closing the Hex Editor tab and opening the file again shows the change.

Expected Behavior

Hex Editor refreshes when the underlying file changes, regardless of characters in the file name.

Actual Behavior

No refresh occurs when the file name contains glob metacharacters. Only closing and reopening reflects the update.
