--workdir is ignored

Not sure whether it's a bug of run-snapcraft.sh or pebble.

In the old official docker container it was possible to place snapcraft.yaml into an arbitrary directory (e.g. mount it as ...:/build/snapcraft.yaml:ro) and use --workdir=/build. Now it doesn't work and gives following error:

2024-04-29T09:59:11.631Z [snapcraft] Could not find snap/snapcraft.yaml. Are you sure you are in the right directory?
2024-04-29T09:59:11.631Z [snapcraft] Recommended resolution: To start a new project, use `snapcraft init`

Whole docker args if you're interested (paths removed and newlines added for readability):

docker

Turns out one must inspect sources (https://github.com/canonical/snapcraft-rocks/blob/core22-8/rockcraft.yaml) and use /project. Is it documented anywhere?

Turns out the path is specified in README, but missing in the announcement.
That still doesn't explain why custom directory cannot be used.
