File autocomplete suggests incorrect relative path for files in current directory

Description
When using @ file autocomplete, Claude Code suggests an incorrect relative path for files that are in the current working directory.
Steps to Reproduce
- Navigate to a subdirectory in a project (e.g.,
project/ethquokkaops/openbao/scripts) - Type
@followed by a filename that exists in the current directory (e.g.,k8s-get-sealed-approle.sh) - Observe the autocomplete suggestion
Expected Behavior
Autocomplete should suggest k8s-get-sealed-approle.sh or ./k8s-get-sealed-approle.sh since the file is in the current working directory.
Actual Behavior
Autocomplete suggests ../../../k8s-get-sealed-approle.sh - traversing up directories unnecessarily when the file is right in the current directory.
Environment
- Platform: macOS (Darwin 25.2.0)
- Working directory structure:
project/ethquokkaops/openbao/scripts/ - File location:
project/ethquokkaops/openbao/scripts/k8s-get-sealed-approle.sh - The file only exists in one location in the entire repository
