`docker compose logs` requires explicit project name in order to work

[dossy]

Description

docker compose logs seems to not calculate the default project name from the current working directory as it normally does for other docker compose commands.

$ basename $(pwd)
dbmate

$ docker compose ps
NAME                    IMAGE                          COMMAND                  SERVICE        CREATED         STATUS                   PORTS
dbmate-supavisor-db-1   supabase/postgres:15.1.0.148   "docker-entrypoint.s…"   supavisor-db   3 minutes ago   Up 3 minutes (healthy)   5432/tcp

$ docker compose logs

# no output - this should work and display logs from the running dbmate-supavisor-db-1 container

$ docker logs dbmate-supavisor-db-1 2>&1 | tail -2
 2026-02-08 23:03:16.137 UTC [168] LOG:  TimescaleDB background worker launcher connected to shared catalogs
 2026-02-08 23:03:16.140 UTC [170] LOG:  pg_cron scheduler started

# docker logs command can get logs just fine

$ docker compose -p $(basename $(pwd)) logs 2>&1 | tail -2
supavisor-db-1  |  2026-02-08 23:08:16.166 UTC [163] LOG:  checkpoint starting: time
supavisor-db-1  |  2026-02-08 23:08:22.707 UTC [163] LOG:  checkpoint complete: wrote 68 buffers (0.4%); 0 WAL file(s) added, 0 removed, 0 recycled; write=6.529 s, sync=0.006 s, total=6.542 s; sync files=22, longest=0.004 s, average=0.001 s; distance=383 kB, estimate=383 kB

# and, docker compose logs command can get logs if we explicitly tell it the
# project name with -p, which we shouldn't have to do if the project name
# is the default value which should be the name of the directory the Compose
# file is in.
