With the flag off, a relative path inside a route matched by a splat resolved against the full matched URL including the splat value, so a link to a sibling depended on how deep the current URL happened to be. With v3_relativeSplatPath on, relative paths resolve against the route path with the splat portion removed, which matches how every other route type behaves.

This silently changes the destination of existing relative Link and useNavigate calls inside splat routes rather than erroring, so audit them by hand. The usual repair is one more ../ segment, or switching to an absolute path.

The other v2 flags to turn on before moving to React Router 7 are v3_fetcherPersist, v3_throwAbortReason, v3_lazyRouteDiscovery, v3_singleFetch and v3_routeConfig. Enable one per commit and run the suite between each.
