`coverage combine` cannot find local plugin files

[Jacobfaib]

Describe the bug Consider a project:

pyproject.toml
my_local_plugin.py
src/
  foo.py

# pyproject.toml
[tool.coverage.run]
plugins = ["my_local_plugin"]

# my_local_plugin.py
def coverage_init(*args, **kwargs):
    pass

And then

# From project root directory (location of pyproject.toml)
$ coverage run foo.py
$ coverage combine
Traceback (most recent call last):

To Reproduce How can we reproduce the problem? Please be specific. Don't link to a failing CI job. Answer the questions below:

1. What version of Python are you using? 3.13
2. What version of coverage.py shows the problem? The output of coverage debug sys is helpful.

$ coverage debug sys

Expected behavior coverage should be able to import the package, using the current working directory. Setting PYTHONPATH=$(pwd) then of course it works.
