Entire not initialized when coding agent is started from subdirectory

[Gribesh]

What happened?

Entire initializes correctly when the coding agent is started from the root directory of a project. However, when the coding agent is initiated from within a subdirectory of the same project, Entire is not detected and does not initialize (e.g., hooks are not added to the coding agent session).

Steps to reproduce

1. Navigate to the root of a project that has Entire configured.
2. Start the coding agent → ✅ Entire initializes correctly (hooks are added).

3. Navigate to a subdirectory inside the same project.
4. Start the coding agent from that subdirectory → ❌ Entire does not initialize (hooks are missing).

Unfortunately, this is a known issue for gemini and claude code (last I checked). We could try to be more flexible and show a warning message here and/or see if we can support installing hooks at the user level but that will require more clean up. For now, starting in the root directory is the best approach. Will update this ticket if we decide to further handle sub-directories.
