Description
On this page:
https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/Concatenate
on which appears this text:
"The -safe 0 above is not required if the paths are relative."
To which paths do "are relative" (that obviates '-safe 0') apply?
1, 'mylist.txt'? or,
2, 'output.wav'? or,
3, 'mylist.txt'? or,
4, the contents of 'mylist.txt'? or,
5, any of them? or,
6, all of them?
In other words, is '-safe 0' obviated only if all paths are relative, or if only the command line uses relative paths, or what?

Thank you for the clarification, Gyan.
So, "-safe 0 above is not required if the paths are relative" is incorrect due to being incomplete? There apparently are more requirements before potentially unsafe paths can be ignored (i.e., not rejected), correct?

The wiki is an unofficial community-editable resource geared to getting most users on their way, rather than being technically exact. The official docs (the one I linked to) aims to be technically exact, although it may often fail at that, for lack of my time or attention. If there's any doubt or nuance missing from the wiki, consult the official docs. If that still doesn't resolve your issue, open a ticket here.
For context, the preceding text is
So 'paths' refers to the file paths specified in the concat text file, as signified by the specimen
/path/to/file1.wav
. With-safe 1
, all file paths must be deemed safe.Here's the requirement for filename safety, as given in the docs:
