Summary

Recognize platform-absolute paths when selecting --start-dir, while preserving root-relative paths and relative paths.
Add focused tests for absolute, root-shortcut, and relative path classification.

Reproduced on Windows with task-local synthetic files: a drive-qualified absolute path was not recognized by the slash-prefix check, and joining it to the current directory produced an unusable path. After the fix, the same synthetic directory was selected and dfs.GetDirectoryListing returned its one synthetic entry.
go test -count=1 -mod=readonly ./dfs passed with task-local Go caches and GOPROXY=off.
No Tran process, transfer, listener, or real user file was used. Full TUI/project build and tests were not run; no dependency restore was attempted.

No related issue is linked; the broad feature request was not treated as evidence for this fix.
