snapshot failing in git subfolder

[dgageot]

Where running an agent in a git subfolder, the snapshotting mechanism fails to work:

time=2026-05-27T09:27:53.104+02:00 level=WARN msg="failed to add snapshot files" exit_code=128 stderr="warning: could not open directory 'assistant/assistant/': No such file or directory\nfatal: pathspec 'assistant/gogo.yaml' did not match any files\n"

Here, the git repo contains an assistant subfolder and the agent runs from that subfolder.

Area	agent (snapshot)
Priority	medium

The snapshotting mechanism builds git pathspecs using paths relative to the repository root rather than the current working directory, causing a fatal: pathspec '...' did not match any files error when the agent is run from a subdirectory of the git repo. This is a reproducible, well-described bug in pkg/snapshot/snapshot.go.
