Description
cargo gpu build (correctly) gives me:
[2025-03-30T02:08:14Z ERROR cargo_gpu] "./" must be a shader crate directory
Error: "./" must be a shader crate directory
But the error message feels off. It seems strange to have "./" there when I didn't put anything in.

Start by reproducing the message with cargo gpu build as described in the issue, then trace the CLI entry point that formats the shader crate directory error. Determine why an omitted path is displayed as "./"; done means the resulting error message no longer presents that default path misleadingly.
