"Working directory" is very much a setting, so yeah. However, we need to
account for a default otherwise a previous workdir would affect the next
invocation(s), so I propose:
"workdir": <string> (optional, default: "/")
This means that there's an implicit chdir("/") done before each invocation,
unless you specify a workdir.
Does this address your situation?
