If you're in a different directory, then you're viewing different projects, which have different stacks.

@little-cartoon-10569 thanks for your response. I am using .envrc file to authenticate into an aws s3 bucket which hosts the state so as long as I’m under that .envrc file, I will be able to see all stacks created under that state

Yes, but the "pointer" into that state is defined by the Pulumi.yaml file in the current directory (or as specified by command-line parameters). If you change directory, you're looking at a different project, which means different stacks.

Ok that makes sense. But for the issue I’m having, how could there be a “organization/<pulumi name>/” appended to the beginning of a stack name when I switch to a different directory? For ex. I’m in the apps/security folder and can see two stacks, “pulumi-security” and “organization/infra/pulumi-infra”. When I move back a directory and into the infra directory, for ex, I see the same two stacks listed with different names: “pulumi-infra” and “organization/security/pulumi-security”
