Power DBT User Fails to Detect dbt_loom.config.yml #1794

@wil-AG

Description

@wil-AG

Expected behavior

When running dbt, dbt-loom initializes but reports that the configuration file does not exist.

Log Output

05:45:50  Running with dbt=1.10.9
05:45:50  Initializing dbt-loom=0.9.2
05:45:50  dbt-loom: Config file `dbt_loom.config.yml` does not exist

### Actual behavior

`dbt_loom.config.yml` should be detected and loaded correctly by dbt-loom when running via Power DBT.

Please let me know if there are known compatibility issues with this Power DBT version, required configuration paths, or additional settings needed to ensure dbt-loom detects its config file properly.

Thank you for your help.
