Consolidate path normalization in Project.cs

Copilot · AndriySvyryd · Copilot · commit 8796083395b0 · 2026-01-15T22:13:21.000Z
Move path normalization for OutputPath to Project.FromFile() so that
the OutputPath property is already normalized when used in RootCommand.cs.
This removes duplicated path normalization logic.
