Description

The value of (current-directory) upon entry to start is the htdocs directory inside the web-server collection, not the directory that Racket started in (as for other Racket programs) or the directory containing the program.

Research direction

Start by locating the web-server/insta start entry point and inspect how (current-directory) is established on entry. Compare it with the behavior of other Racket programs and determine whether the expected directory is the startup directory or the program's directory; done means the observed value matches that expectation.
