That check now passes a few extra values internally. One of them always comes out empty whichever way it is worked out, so the check behaves the same as before.\n\n**Why**\n\nNothing changes for you in practice. The adjustment may prepare for later work on how paths are handled on Windows and WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux, a way to run Linux inside Windows).\n\n- Area: Elsewhere\n- Tier: Under the hood\n- Useful: 1\/5\n- Signal: 0\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
