Is not normalizing the path anymore going to cause issues? Maybe it should still be normalized when not starting with a .?

I think path normalization is done by fs_canonicalize anyway, so doing it would just be a duplicate work. Also as you can see we have tests confirming that paths not starting with . are handled expectedly.
I might be overlooking something though
