Description

If I have args/file1.txt with:

@file2.txt

And args/file2.txt with:

--foo

I would expect running a command line with @args/file1.txt would see --foo as the files inside args/file1.txt should be interpreted relative to args (the directory the file is in). Currently all the files are interpreted relative to the cwd.

Research direction

Reproduce the issue with args/file1.txt including @file2.txt and args/file2.txt containing --foo. Trace the argument-file handling from the command-line entry point, then verify that nested paths resolve from the including file's directory rather than the current working directory.
