//! Project-level documentation discovery.
//!
//! Project-level documentation can be stored in files named `AGENTS.md`.
//! We include the concatenation of all files found along the path from the
//! repository root to the current working directory as follows:
//!
//! 1.  Determine the Git repository root by walking upwards from the current
//!     working directory until a `.git` directory or file is found. If no Git
//!     root is found, only the current working directory is considered.
//! 2.  Collect every `AGENTS.md` found from the repository root down to the
//!     current working directory (inclusive) and concatenate their contents in
//!     that order.
//! 3.  We do **not** walk past the Git root.
