Description
The code in #1398 resolves paths too eagerly as "relative". In particular, a bare executable name such as radian is taken to be a relative path and looked up in the current working directory instead of in $PATH (this should only happen for ./radian).

Research direction
Review the path-resolution code introduced by #1398 and reproduce the behavior with a bare executable name such as radian versus ./radian. Done means radian is resolved through $PATH, while ./radian is still looked up in the current working directory.
