So this indeed addresses the problem you reported.

I'm curious about why this was changed like it was. I presume to avoid
some issues with relative paths, like the ./run.sh and the "cd
functional" within run.sh.... but I haven't been able to trigger that.

When you say $(OUTPUT) is empty - when does that occur? Because if it
was in fact "" then the change below would attempt to execute /run.sh
... which is surely not what we want.
