Research direction

Reproduce the issue in a-shell by opening an sftp session to a Debian trixie server and running `cd ..`, then compare it with changing directories using a full path. The issue is resolved when parent-directory navigation works in that session, or the reproduction is narrowed to a documented server or client limitation.
