Research direction
Examine the Configuration class to identify the fields for sourceRoot, dataRoot, includeRoot currently defined as String. Changing them to java.nio.file.Path will require updating all references and ensuring backward compatibility with existing configuration files. Check the issue comments and any related PRs for additional context.
