Description
Desired Behavior
(This is a follow up to https://github.com/ocaml/dune/issues/7355, which was not completely addressed.)
If a file file.v that has not yet be written to disk would be part of a coq.theory stanza, then dune coq top file.v should not fail, and allow you to step through the file.
Current behavior
The command currently fails with Error: Cannot find file: file.v.

Research direction
Start at the dune coq top file.v command and trace how files in a coq.theory stanza are resolved. Check the unsaved-file path described in the issue and confirm that file.v can be stepped through without being written to disk. Done means the command no longer reports Cannot find file: file.v for such a file.
