I have trouble understanding this sentence (not sure what the "regex perspective" refers to). And listing incorrect examples can add extra confusion. Could this be:
(e.g. for
/proj/.clangd, the file/proj/x/y.cchas a path ofx/y.cc)

Looks like I misunderstood @HighCommander4 explanation.
It's a common practice to start a path with ./ talking about relative paths. But the config parser doesn't understand that form, it requires starting away with the name, right?
"regex perspective" is my wrong explanation because regex with . special character can be any character including ., so according to my logic, it should have worked. Forget it.
Yeah, your example looks better in every sense.
I've added path usage example as discussed with @HighCommander4 here.
