Research direction

Reproduce the two nvim --headless commands shown in the issue, comparing PlenaryBustedFile with a single file and a directory. Trace the PlenaryBustedFile entry point and make the single-file invocation run my_spec.lua successfully in headless mode.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Is it possible to use PlenaryBusted in headless mode to run a single file? In my environment:

### Fails with "FAILED TO LOAD FILE"
nvim --headless -u "PlenaryBustedFile path/to/specs/my_spec.lua {minimal=true}"

### Works and runs `my_spec.lua`
nvim --headless -u "PlenaryBustedFile path/to/specs {minimal=true}"
