+# ADR-004: Recursive `.cheat` Directory Search
+
+Date: 2026-02-15
+
+## Status
+
+Accepted
+
+## Context
+
+Previously, `cheat` only checked the current working directory for a `.cheat`
+subdirectory to use as a directory-scoped cheatpath. If a user was in
+`~/projects/myapp/src/handlers/` but the `.cheat` directory lived at
+`~/projects/myapp/.cheat`, it would not be found. Users requested (#602) that
+`cheat` walk up the directory hierarchy to find the nearest `.cheat`
+directory, mirroring the discovery pattern used by `git` for `.git`
+directories.
+
+## Decision
+
+Walk upward from the current working directory to the filesystem root, and
+stop at the first `.cheat` directory found. Only directories are matched (a
+file named `.cheat` is ignored).
+
+### Stop at first `.cheat` found
+
+Rather than collecting multiple `.cheat` directories from ancestor directories:
+
+- Matches `.git` discovery semantics, which users already understand
+- Fits the existing single-cheatpath-named-`"cwd"` code without structural
+  changes
+- Avoids precedence and naming complexity when multiple `.cheat` directories
+  exist in the ancestor chain
+- `cheat` already supports multiple cheatpaths via `conf.yml` for users who
+  want that; directory-scoped `.cheat` serves the project-context use case
+
+### Walk to filesystem root (not `$HOME`)
+
+Rather than stopping the search at `$HOME`:
+
+- Simpler implementation with no platform-specific home-directory detection
+- Supports sysadmins working in `/etc`, `/srv`, `/var`, or other paths
+  outside `$HOME`
+- The boundary only matters on the failure path (no `.cheat` found anywhere),
+  where the cost is a few extra `stat` calls
+- Security is not a concern since cheatsheets are display-only text, not
+  executable code
+
+## Consequences
+
+### Positive
+- Users can place `.cheat` at their project root and it works from any
+  subdirectory, matching their mental model
+- No configuration changes needed; existing `.cheat` directories continue to
+  work identically
+- Minimal code change (one small helper function)
+
+### Negative
+- A `.cheat` directory in an unexpected ancestor could be picked up
+  unintentionally, though this is unlikely in practice and matches how `.git`
+  works
+
+### Neutral
+- The cheatpath name remains `"cwd"` regardless of which ancestor the `.cheat`
+  was found in
+
+## Alternatives Considered
+
+### 1. Stop at `$HOME`
+**Rejected**: Adds platform-specific complexity for minimal benefit. The only
+downside of walking to root is a few extra `stat` calls on the failure path.
+
+### 2. Collect multiple `.cheat` directories
+**Rejected**: Introduces precedence and naming complexity. Users who want
+multiple cheatpaths can configure them in `conf.yml`.
+
+## References
+
+- GitHub issue: #602
+- Implementation: `findLocalCheatpath()` in `internal/config/config.go`
