Home Dir Warning - Even when in subfolder of home dir? #22309

What happened?

Hi,

I'm getting:

⚠  Warning you are running Gemini CLI in your home directory.
   This warning can be disabled in /settings

Even when launching Gemini CLI after cd'ing into:
/home/user/my-programming/gemini-cli/

What did you expect to happen?

Should that warning be present even when running two folders deep under the home dir?
I don't understand what else is expected, are we meant to be running gemini out of project setup below / ?

Client information

Run gemini to enter the interactive CLI, then run the /about command.
