Missing cwd on log output

When reading a log, it is often useful to know from where the command is begin run. Consider the example:

== 2025-01-04 01:38:09,906 run.py:187 INFO Auto-enabling streaming output of '/p/software/jedi/stages/2025/software/Python/3.12.3-GCCcore-13.3.0/bin/python -m pip install --prefix=/p/project1/atmlaml/strube1/easybuild/jedi/software/tensorboard/2.18.0-gcccoreflexiblas-13.3.0-3.4.4  --no-deps  --ignore-installed  --no-index  --no-build-isolation  .' command because logging to stdout is enabled

ERROR: Directory '.' is not installable. Neither 'setup.py' nor 'pyproject.toml' found.

That's a lot to read in a typical easybuild file, but the crucial information in this case is: Where is this being ran from, that it doesn't find a file? It shows the full location of python and the prefix where to install it to, but not where it IS.

Going back to the rest of the gigantic log file doesn't help - one has to wonder where things are actually happening in such a case.

It would be very useful to know where the current shell thinks it is.

This is EB 4.8.4.

Can you check the logging in the upcoming EasyBuild 5.0 (through the beta release for example)?

A lot has changed there, since we've switched to run_shell_cmd underneath the covers.

I hope/suspect the logging is better there (and if not, we can easily change it, you have a good point)
