Expected behavior
I want to add a fallback cover by using auto-profile with --cover-art-files, so I want it can be changes in runtime.
And to have portability, I want it support relative path.
Actual behavior

Research direction
Start by reproducing the two runtime sequences with --cover-art-files and the relative-path command described in the issue. Trace the existing cover-art-files option handling and cover selection behavior; done means runtime changes take effect and relative paths work for fallback covers without overriding the reported behavior.
