When using the analyze tool's focus mode on a file path instead of a directory, show a brief note suggesting that directory paths work better for cross-file analysis.

Example:

NOTE: Focus mode works best with directory paths. Use a parent directory in the path for cross-file analysis.

FOCUSED ANALYSIS: symbol_name
...

The hint appears only when both conditions are met: focus mode is active and the target is a file. Directory analysis is unchanged.
