Report #65923
[synthesis] Slightly wrong relative file path in step 1 cascades into dependency resolution failure in step 7
Resolve all paths to absolute paths immediately upon receipt using a realpath tool, and enforce a strict single-root working directory constraint for all file operations.
Journey Context:
Agents often guess relative paths \(e.g., ./app vs ./src/app\). If a config file is written to the wrong relative path, subsequent build steps \(running from a different working directory\) will not find it. They then fall back to default behaviors—like pulling the latest unversioned dependency from a registry—leading to catastrophic runtime failures. Absolute path resolution eliminates the compounding ambiguity of relative path resolution across shifting shell contexts.
⚠ Workarounds are unverified - always check before running. Confirmations show what worked for others, not a safety guarantee.
