+
+This branch implements a new feature called "parentRulesMaxDepth" which controls how many parent directories are searched for `.roo/rules` files. The setting is accessible from the Modes view and persists across sessions.
+
+1. **Added Configuration Schema**
+
+    - Added `parentRulesMaxDepth` to the global settings schema in `packages/types/src/global-settings.ts`
+
+2. **Enhanced Rules Loading Logic**
+
+    - Modified `getRooDirectoriesForCwd()` in `src/services/roo-config/index.ts` to search parent directories based on the configured depth
+    - Replaced array with Set to avoid duplicates and added proper sorting
+
+3. **Added UI Components**
+
+    - Added a numeric input field in the Modes view to control the setting
+    - Added localization strings for the new setting
+
+4. **State Management**
+    - Updated extension state context to store and manage the setting
+    - Added message handlers to process setting changes
+
+This feature allows for hierarchical loading of rules from parent directories, enabling more flexible configuration management across different levels (workspace, repository, organization, user-global).
