Redesign project file resolver
Metadata
Current evaluation
Task to redesign project file resolver to search multiple locations and handle file-vs-directory edge cases. Still unimplemented in current code; no labels, no assignee, no maintainer engagement beyond auto Jira sync.
Suggested action: needs triage
Reason: Filed by a maintainer as a clear task with concrete requirements, but has no labels, no assignee, and no human maintainer response (only the Jira sync bot at 465 days). The current resolve_project_file_path() in project.py still only checks one location and raises ProjectDirectoryTypeError for files, confirming the issue remains open and relevant. Needs triage to be prioritized or explicitly deferred.
