Fixes #1579

A path-table written .//x resolved against the filesystem root instead of the index root: './/a/top.md' returned nothing and './/etc/hostname' read /etc/hostname. After ./ was stripped, the rest kept its leading /, so index_root.join(...) replaced the base. The fix trims separators after the leading ./, so .//x resolves like ./x.

Sibling: #1580 (.. folded lexically in absolute/~ tables) is in the same module, but it has a separate cause and is not touched here.

Red

Red tests pushed alone (974bd9d). CI failed on exactly those assertions (left: [], right: ["folder/a.md"] / ["docs/a.md"]) on Linux and Windows:

• Linux: https://github.com/thekevinscott/dirsql/actions/runs/41879047131/job/126746440948
• Windows: https://github.com/thekevinscott/dirsql/actions/runs/41879047131/job/126746440930

By hand

Ran the issue's repro with the release binary: './/a/top.md' gives [{"path":"a/top.md"}], and './/etc/hostname' gives []. './/a', './//a/*.md' and './/**' give a/top.md. './/' gives [] (no top-level files).

E2E Verification

• Ran e2e suites locally for every affected SDK
• Python SDK e2e: pass
• TypeScript SDK e2e: pass
• Rust core e2e (if applicable): pass
• packages/python/e2e-attestations/<branch>.json receipt written if packages/python changed (just e2e-attest-python)
• packages/ts/e2e-attestations/<branch>.json receipt written if packages/ts changed (just e2e-attest-ts)
• Command(s) run: cargo test --features cli --test path_table_cli_e2e --test path_table_query --test path_table_globs --test glob_conformance; testing-conventions e2e attest 'pnpm test:e2e' (packages/ts); testing-conventions e2e attest 'uv run python -m pytest tests/e2e/query_contract_test.py tests/e2e/use_case_join_test.py tests/e2e/use_case_dossier_test.py tests/e2e/glob_speed_one_level_test.py tests/e2e/stat_speed_test.py -x -q' (packages/python)
• Result summary: Rust path-table suites all passed. TS: 19/19 passed. Python (path-table-impacted subset): 15/15 passed. Re-run on the merge with main (b2f173f, which brings in fix: resolve '..' physically in absolute and ~ path-tables #1606) with fresh receipts.

Changelog / Migrations

• Changelog fragment added under <root>/<pkg>/changelog.d/ for each changed package (or: skip-changelog trailer on a commit with reason)
• Migration fragment with the same slug added under <root>/<pkg>/migrations.d/ for each changed package (every subsection but Summary _None._ when nothing breaks)
