worth making it relative and make that relative to the top of the bids directory. BIDS (validator) ignores all `.dotdirs` so there should be no side effect.

This would be inline with e.g. heudiconv functioning where we store metadata extracts etc, see e.g https://datasets.datalad.org/?dir=/dbic/QA (but need explicit path) -- frontend ignores .dotdirs so need to go directly into apache's index: https://datasets.datalad.org/dbic/QA/.heudiconv/ but it will be there if cloned locally.

No source file or test is identified in the issue. Start by locating where metadata extracts or related hidden directories are created, then determine how the path is currently constructed. Done means the path is relative to the top of the BIDS directory, remains available in a local clone, and does not affect BIDS validation.
