feat(nvim): add relative path display option

[pompos02]

Summary

Add a file_picker.display_relative_path configuration option, disabled by default, that renders find_files entries as a full picker-root-relative path.

This applies only to find_files. Grep results and grep suggestions retain their existing layout.
Long directories are shortened while keeping the filename visible. Git filename coloring and fuzzy match highlighting continue to use the correct offsets.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The file picker adds file_picker.display_relative_path, disabled by default. The renderer supports platform-specific relative paths and updates highlighting, shortening, and width handling. Unit tests and UI snapshots cover the new layout.

Changes

Relative path rendering

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Path display configuration README.md, doc/fff.nvim.txt, lua/fff/conf.lua	Documents and defaults file_picker.display_relative_path to false.
Relative path rendering and highlighting lua/fff/picker_ui/file_renderer.lua	Renders relative paths with platform separators and updates directory, git, fuzzy-match, and width calculations.
Renderer and snapshot validation tests/file_renderer_spec.lua, tests/picker_ui_snap.lua, tests/screenshots/*relative_path*	Tests relative-path rendering, highlighting, shortening, width limits, and prompt positions.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 04922

The change adds an opt-in relative-path display for find_files entries; grep results remain unchanged. The documentation should clarify that scope to avoid user confusion, but no actionable merge-blocking risk remains.

Thanks for a decent PR

[dmtrKovalenko]

@gustav-fff i noticed that not all the configuration options are displayed inthe readme please ensure that they are in sync and make ordering more logical I think file_picker should be displayed right after or before layout to make it clear that it only applies to a file picker

[dmtrKovalenko]

well well well I am not sure I like it now when I started thinking about configuration

1. it shouldn't be file picker only if user wants to display paths first it should be project wide config and should lie in layout
2. if we start configuring it per project we need a seperate module for rendering file names
3. the dispay_relative_path is not 100% clear name cause they are displayed anyway, it's more like show_path_first

I reverted the commit so @gustav-fff can you please make a PR with the original commit from @pompos02 and apply all my suggested changes on top

[gustav-fff]

[triage-bot] DIRECTED: opened #837.

@pompos02's original commit is the first commit, untouched. Second commit e75e72a applies your three points:

1. file_picker.display_relative_path -> layout.show_path_first. Dropped the ctx.mode ~= 'grep' and ctx.suggestion_source ~= 'grep' guard, so grep file group headers follow it too (they render through file_renderer.render_line).
2. New lua/fff/picker_ui/file_name_renderer.lua owns the name section — display text plus the byte offsets the git-status, directory and fuzzy extmarks need. file_renderer.lua loses 75 lines and no longer branches on the layout in four places.
3. Renamed to show_path_first.

Plus your earlier README ask: config block synced with conf.lua and file_picker moved right after layout. Missing keys added (wrap_around, keymaps.cycle_forward_query, logging.enabled, file_picker.current_file_label) and two wrong defaults fixed — prompt was documented as '> ' but is '🪿 ', layout.path_shorten_strategy as 'middle_number' but is 'middle'.

No deprecation shim for display_relative_path, it never shipped in a release.

make test-lua 4/4 on tests/file_renderer_spec.lua, make test-lua-snap 42 cases 0 fails. The two reference screenshots from this PR are byte-identical after the rename, so the extraction is behaviour-preserving.
