See commit 2983aafa for the rationale.

In situations where the solution cannot be found for an informational period > 1
using the same completion share as for the first informational period, suggest
to decrease the value of the homotopy_max_completion_share option.

Use the model simulation based on a first-order local approximation as
the initial guess for the nonlinear solver in each period. Can
speed-up extended path simulations.

We could also consider simulations based on higher order
approximations, but I did not find any significant improvements with a
second order approximation.

However do not set that option permanently (and also disable RemoveSemicolon by
default), since the clang-format manual states that these options can lead to
incorrect formatting and thus their result should be carefully reviewed.

Bug introduced in 79128ea9.

In Sphinx 8, returned filesystem path objects are no longer extended to have
implicit string conversion methods. The conversion to a string must now be made
explicitly.

See this entry in the changelog for Sphinx 8.0:

 #12650, #12686, #12690: Extend the deprecation for string methods on
 :py:class:`~pathlib.Path` objects to Sphinx 9. Use :py:func:`os.fspath` to
 convert :py:class:`~pathlib.Path` objects to strings, or
 :py:class:`~pathlib.Path`'s methods to work with path objects. Patch by Adam
 Turner.

Closes #1948
