Describe both launch-argument paths relative to the configured project cwd.

The normal adapter passes turnInput.runtimePolicy.cwd to both readers. The append-file comment says “process cwd,” and the settings comment only says “cwd.” Both descriptions should identify the configured project cwd. Otherwise, users can place a relative file in the process cwd and receive a file-read error because the adapter looks in the project cwd.

Suggested fix 
- * the file relative to the process cwd, expanding a leading ~.
+ * the file relative to the configured project cwd, or the process cwd when no project cwd is configured, expanding a leading ~.
...
- * JSON, anything else is a file path relative to the cwd, expanding a leading ~.
+ * JSON, anything else is a file path relative to the configured project cwd, or the process cwd when no project cwd is configured, expanding a leading ~.

This documentation-only change is the complete correction. No runtime change is required.

around lines 1626 - 1635:
Update the documentation for both launch-argument file readers to describe
relative paths as resolving against the configured project cwd, falling back to
the process cwd when none is configured; keep the existing path-resolution
behavior using input.cwd and filePath unchanged.
