Current evaluation

2018 documentation request: local source paths must be within the build directory (e.g. source: ../../my-project/build fails) and the docs should say so. No labels, no comments, no maintainer activity in over 7 years.

Suggested action: needs triage

Reason: The issue has zero comments, no labels, and no maintainer interaction in 2679 days (~7.3 years), so it has never been assessed or categorised. It is a documentation clarification about working-as-intended behaviour (local source must stay within the build directory), not a pure support question, so it warrants a maintainer decision on whether the current docs already cover this. I could not inspect the repo (pinned-SHA tool errors), so I cannot confirm whether the docs were updated since 2018, which limits confidence.

Issue body

When building with a local directory and specifying source, the path must be within the current build directory. The documentation could use an update to indicate this. For example, source: ../../my-project/build will not work.
