Current Behavior

PR #32894 introduced a regression where DaemonClientToolchainServices passes getRootDirectory() directly to BaseDirFileResolver, which requires an absolute path. When the Tooling API is invoked with a relative project directory (e.g. File(".")), this throws:

IllegalArgumentException: base dir '.' is not an absolute file.

Expected Behavior

It should just work with a relative project directory, as before 9.5.0.

Context (optional)

This affects any Tooling API consumer that connects with a relative or default project directory.
