``` erlang
erica_util:normalize_path("/tmp/1/2/3/../../../../../..").
```
results in `"/../.."` where I would expect `"/"` when traversing up to or beyond the root folder.

Research direction
Start by locating the erica_util:normalize_path/1 entry point and inspect how it handles absolute paths and parent-directory segments. Reproduce the shown input, then verify that traversing to or beyond the root returns "/" rather than a path containing leading parent segments.
