Problem Statement
Very many projects place solution files used by IDEs in the src/ subfolder or similar.
When opening the plugin in Rider it always opens Claude Code in the same folder as the solution. I assume it is the same for all the other Jetbrains IDEs. This gives the session the wrong context causing all sorts of problems.
Proposed Solution
Add a configuration option on a per solution/project basis to make a parent folder X steps up, the folder in which to open Claude Code
