Bug Description
It would be helpful if Claude pulled from any .Claude folders in the parent path, not just current directory or home. If I make a directory to contain several worktrees, I'd like to put my .Claude info there and then access it within any worktree. Likewise if I launch Claude from a subdirectory of a project, it needs the project settings.
