Unclear The finding does not say where this helper is used or what visible behaviour changes as a result.

What

Claude Code has a helper that looks for folders that appear to be git folders (the hidden folders git uses to track a project). It used to list every parent folder of a given path that looked like one. It now checks only the given folder itself.

Why

In practice, a folder higher up the path that looks like a git folder is no longer counted when this helper runs.
