> {{PathUtils.RelativeSortedPaths.extractKey}} uses a regular expression with
> an escape character to escape a single character separator, but separator is
> a string so in theory can be multiple characters. IntelliJ gives an error on
> this (the compiler doesn't).
> !image-2026-02-07-14-27-32-345.png!
> In practice, all file systems have single-character separators AFAIK, so it's
> more a theoretical issue.
> I suggest to just remove the regular expression, there is no need for it.
> Just use an exact string-matching replacement instead.
