- PR #138124: fix(agent): map container-absolute paths back to the host cwd for subdirectory hint discovery

One issue reports that subdirectory AGENTS.md hints are not found when paths are container-absolute (e.g. /workspace/...) under the docker backend. Two related pull requests propose fixes by mapping or resolving container mount paths back to the host working directory during hint discovery.
