I see you are printing only the relative path if you failed to get a
real path for some reason.
I wonder if there could be something that could hint the reader that
absolute path resolution failed?
FWIW, the same could be said for failing fds resolution, I can see
sometimes traces with a 255 unresolved descriptor.
