Description

Why are absolute paths not supported? I've read the comment, but why can't you just pull in the files from a directory? I have frontend code that's in a different project/vcs and I'd like to just pull the built files when running my backend code.

Research direction

Start with box.go at line 33 and read the surrounding handling of resource paths. Determine whether absolute paths can be supported for files from another project or VCS, then define the expected behavior and validation needed before implementation.
