Subject: [PATCH] Fix bare-path guard to exclude single-segment sibling
 references

Single-segment bare paths like "page-b.md" are sibling-file references
that need normalizePath() to resolve. The bare-path pre-normalization
check now requires at least one "/" to distinguish repo-root-relative
paths (docs/markdown/autoapi/foo/) from sibling references.

Bumps version to 0.14.4.
