Summary
This is a documentation-only follow-up to GH-152906.
After the Windows wildcard normalization fix was merged, follow-up discussion highlighted that
os.DirEntry.pathintentionally preserves the originalos.scandir()argument rather than a normalized path.This PR clarifies the documented semantics of
DirEntry.path, including:DirEntry.pathis constructed from the originalos.scandir()argument andentry.name.scandir()arguments produce relativeDirEntry.pathvalues.DirEntry.pathvalues resolve.This PR is documentation only and does not change runtime behavior.
