## Message

```
Fix project grouping for Git repo subdirectories (#57998)

Self-Review Checklist:

- [x] I've reviewed my own diff for quality, security, and reliability
- [x] Unsafe blocks (if any) have justifying comments
  - No unsafe blocks added.
- [x] The content is consistent with the [UI/UX
checklist](https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md#uiux-checklist)
- No new UI components; behavior better matches user intent for opened
folders.
- [x] Tests cover the new/changed behavior
  - Added sibling-subdirectory project group regression coverage.
- Extended subfolder Git-status test to ensure Git still uses the parent
repo while project identity stays at the opened folder.
- [x] Performance impact has been considered and is acceptable
- Change adds one small enum/optional field check when computing
worktree paths; no meaningful performance impact expected.

Closes #57997

Release Notes:

- Fixed project grouping for opened subdirectories that share the same
parent Git repository.
