This feature allows podman-compose to locate a compose file (e.g., docker-compose.yml, compose.yml, etc.) when executed from deep within a project structure. If a user runs `podman-compose ps` from a subdirectory like `project/addons/module/component`, the tool will search upward through parent directories (up to 10 levels) to find a compose file located in the root of the project (e.g., `project/`). This improves usability by eliminating the need to manually navigate to the project root or specify the `--file` option. Notes: - Supports common file names like `docker-compose.yml`, `compose.yml` - Max search depth: 10 parent directories
