Relative to what? The working directory of the process? The working directory of the editor? What if either change during the execution of the program?

good point.
I just checked and vscode would make it clickable with : The working directory of the terminal.

What if either change during the execution of the program?

In reality when you run the binary in foreground you can't change the terminal directory anyway and when you run it in background this is even less relevant, no?

I understand the rationale but it seems a bit surprising and special purpose.
The go command does this, but the go command spends almost all its time printing these kinds of messages. It's not clear that every binary should do it.
In general I don't think most commands should change their output based on the directory where they are run.

I agree with @rsc and would prefer not to do this. It seems too likely to confuse.

got it .
thanks for spending the time to consider it!
