Research direction
Start by reproducing the behavior in nvim-tree.lua while the current directory is the root folder /. Trace the file-explorer entry point that determines whether the root folder is displayed, then confirm the expected behavior and add or update coverage if the relevant test location can be identified. Done means the root folder behavior is explicitly resolved.
