Tab Display Title
I am THRILLED, tremendously happy, about the update regarding file upload/download, and the navigation structure of it. One thing I still really struggle with is identical file names. Before, I struggled with ALWAYS having to confirm/deny (the dialogue box) file upload/download. I do have a new suggestion again:
I am often editing multiple index.php files, or really anything with the same or similar name. A setting to display root folder at a bare minimum would be AMAZING. I don't know which index.php is in which folder, so I'm always relying on proper order. And if I ever manage other file naming structures based on prefixes or suffixes, I run into a similar issue. If I could get path/index.php that would be great, or if there is any way to set highly specific settings per tab: say a control + click, or alt + click or command + click, whatever works fastest, to allow me to display specific titling: path/path2/index.php or path2/index.php or path2 or index.php or path/path2 or even to remove the .php (maybe removing the extension is a bit far, but we are working with very little screen real-estate as it is), and hence the small screen real-estate it would be nice to have a small display number to convey the number of tabs to the left and/or right of the tab bar.
The elimination of the old dialogue box system has made me happy happy super happy, and all I was asking for back then was an option to disable the need to have to confirm/deny it and you went far above and beyond and PERFECTED a much better system. Again here, I'm only asking for the bare minimum, a way to easily identify which index is which index. <3

Good point, I'll need to think about it.
I believe other editors solve this by displaying only the differing parts of the file path when there are multiple tabs with the same file name. On iPhone this probably won't help much because of the limited room for file names in tabs, but it would help on iPad.
A setting to always show the folder name alongside the file name (e.g., "path/index.php" as you described) should be relatively easy to implement.
In Textastic on macOS, hovering the cursor over a tab shows a tooltip with the full file path. Maybe something similar could be added to iPadOS – though it would only be helpful when using a mouse or trackpad.
