I am new to poetry and was trying ‘pytest’, ‘flake8’ and ‘bandit’

Following is the directory structure

Directory Structure

├── README.md
├── .github/workflows
│   ├── main.yml
├── library
│   ├── README.md
│   ├── action.yml
│   ├── config.py
│   ├── .flake8

I executed the following command from VSCode terminal and it error’ed as given below

sathish:~/analytics-example/library$ poetry run flake8

./config.py:49:66: E501 line too long (81 > 79 characters)
./config.py:56:66: E501 line too long (83 > 79 characters)

Following line was added to library/.flake8 files which resolved the issue

max-line-length = 125

However, when 'poetry run flake8' was executed through Pipeline it resulted in same error

library/config.py:49:66: E501 line too long (81 > 79 characters)
library/config.py:56:66: E501 line too long (83 > 79 characters)

I tried the following solutions which actually resolved the issue but due to some reason library/.flake8 file was ignored

a) Added the flag to poetry run as follows in .github/workflows/main.yml

     poetry run flake8 . --max-line-length=120

b) Created a new .flake8 file in the root of the project directory as given below

├── README.md
├── .flake8
├── .github/workflows
│   ├── main.yml
├── library

However, I just want to confirm whether .flake8 file should be created in the same level as that of .github directory (or) am I missing some configuration so that library/.flake8 would be picked up?
