Research direction

Start by locating the agent entry point that searches for appmap.yml and inspect how appmap_dir is currently resolved. Verify behavior from a nested directory through the repository root, or from the root directory when no repository exists. Done means the nearest appmap.yml is selected and appmap_dir is relative to that file.

Description

enhancement

When looking for an existing appmap.yml, the agent should search from the current directory up to the repo root (or the root directory, if not in a repo), and use the first one it finds. appmap_dir should be resolved relative to the location of the discovered appmap.yml.
