Summary by Sourcery

Resolve the application's working directory to an absolute path when a relative --directory option is provided and expose it via a new property, with corresponding test updates.

New Features:

• Add a working_directory property to expose the internal working directory Path

Enhancements:

• Call resolve() on the directory path in _configure_global_options to convert relative paths to absolute

Tests:

• Add a test to verify that passing a relative directory parameter yields an absolute WorkingDirectory
• Update the existing version command test to assert usage of the application.working_directory property

Reviewer's Guide

Adds a working_directory property to the Application, ensures it is resolved to an absolute path when provided via the --directory option, and updates tests to verify this behavior.

Assessment against linked issues

Issue	Objective	Addressed	Explanation
https://github.com/python-poetry/poetry/issues/10541	Ensure that when poetry is run with a relative path via the -C/--directory option, the working directory is resolved to an absolute path before use, so that generated shebangs in installed scripts (e.g., .venv/bin/pytest) use the correct absolute path to the Python interpreter.	✅
https://github.com/python-poetry/poetry/issues/10541	Add tests to verify that passing a relative directory parameter results in the working directory being set to the absolute path, and that this is reflected in output and behavior.	✅

Possibly linked issues

• #10541: The PR adds .resolve() to make the working directory absolute, fixing the FileNotFoundError when poetry build -C uses a relative path.
• #10541: The PR makes the internal working directory absolute using .resolve(), which resolves issue 10541 by fixing an underlying path-related problem that caused poetry run to misinterpret arguments after a trailing --.
