Context Detection

Before any operation, determine the canvas directory:

1. If wiki/canvases/ exists in the current directory or a parent: use it (claude-obsidian vault mode).
   • Media goes to _attachments/images/canvas/
2. Otherwise: use .canvases/ in the current working directory (standalone mode).
   • Media goes to .canvases/assets/
3. Create the directory if it doesn't exist.

Default canvas: [canvas_dir]/main.canvas
