deadgrep not using current dired folder as search directory

[vnckppl]

deadgrep no longer searches the underlying folder in dired, but always defaults to searching the home directory. This also happens with emacs -Q:

(add-to-list 'load-path "/home/vincent/.emacs.d/elpa/deadgrep-20231130.1628")
(add-to-list 'load-path "/home/vincent/.emacs.d/elpa/s-20220902.1511")
(add-to-list 'load-path "/home/vincent/.emacs.d/elpa/dash-20240103.1301")
(add-to-list 'load-path "/home/vincent/.emacs.d/elpa/spinner-1.7.4")

(require 's)
(require 'dash)
(require 'spinner)
(require 'deadgrep)

and then running M-x deadgrep. Has this behavior changed?

Deadgrep debug output:

Platform: gnu/linux
Emacs version: 29.1.50
Command: rg --no-config --color=ansi --line-number --no-heading --no-column --with-filename --fixed-strings --smart-case -- test .
default-directory: "~/"

Ripgrep version:

ripgrep 13.0.0

Seeing the same behaviour.
Expected rg to search from the default-directory currently open in dired, however it searched from the project root instead.

Hmm, this is a difficult tradeoff to choose a good default. Note that you can call deadgrep with a prefix to change the search directory before running, or you can override deadgrep-project-root-function to change how deadgrep decides the root directory to start the search from.

Given that this can be overridden, I'm going to close, but I'm open to suggestions of improvements here.

Invoking deadgrep with prefix-argument like C-u M-x deadgrep only prompts for the search term and not the search directory. Am I doing something wrong?
