📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The includes documentation describes a working-directory fallback for unresolved relative paths in Fluent Bit v5.1.3 or later. It also documents Windows path separators and absolute path formats.

Changes

Include path documentation

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Document include path resolution administration/configuring-fluent-bit/yaml/includes-section.md	The documentation adds a working-directory fallback for unresolved relative paths in Fluent Bit v5.1.3 or later. It states that Windows accepts \ and / separators and treats drive-letter and UNC paths as absolute.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~3 minutes

Change: Other

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to ff4e7

Readers unfamiliar with UNC may not recognize this documented Windows path type as absolute. Expanding it is a localized documentation fix, so the remaining risk is low.
