Does Pkg.develop have different behavior with and without path?

General Usage

Hi all I also posted this question on the stackoverflow

I am having an interesting issue with the Package manager system and wondering if its related to the way my Project.toml is set up. The issue is that when I call Pkg.develop with and without a path to a project in .julia/dev two different Manifest.toml are instantiated. One seems to have an error where Pkg is not properly creating a weakdeps section. Here is my julia info

Julia Version 1.9.2

Here is the project.toml

name = "NDTensors"
uuid = "23ae76d9-e61a-49c4-8f12-3f1a16adf9cf"
authors = ["Matthew Fishman <mfishman@flatironinstitute.org>"]
version = "0.2.0"

[deps]
somedeps = "UUID"

[compat]
somedeps = "version#"

[weakdeps]
CUDA = "052768ef-5323-5732-b1bb-66c8b64840ba"

[extensions]
NDTensorCUDA = "CUDA"

The issue happens when I try to dev my project so I have the folder .julia/dev/NDTensors and cd to .julia/dev. When I run this command $julia --project=temp -e 'using Pkg; Pkg.develop(path="./NDTensors")' or this $julia --project=temp -e 'using Pkg; Pkg.develop(path="NDTensors")' I get this error

Resolving package versions...
ERROR: `NDTensors=23ae76d9-e61a-49c4-8f12-3f1a16adf9cf` depends on `CUDA=052768ef-5323-5732-b1bb-66c8b64840ba`, but no such entry exists in the manifest.
and Pkg has created a manifest (temp/Manifest.toml) that looks like this
[[deps.NDTensors]]
path = "../NDTensors"
uuid = "23ae76d9-e61a-49c4-8f12-3f1a16adf9cf"
version = "0.2.0"

    [deps.NDTensors.deps]
    somedeps = "UUID"
    CUDA = "052768ef-5323-5732-b1bb-66c8b64840ba"

which looks like Pkg has incorrectly put my weakdeps in deps. However if I run this command $julia --project=temp -e 'using Pkg; Pkg.develop("NDTensors") Pkg generates this manifest

[[deps.NDTensors]]
deps = ["somedeps"]
path = "/home/.julia/dev/NDTensors"
uuid = "23ae76d9-e61a-49c4-8f12-3f1a16adf9cf"
version = "0.2.0"

    [deps.NDTensors.extensions]
    NDTensorCUDA = "CUDA"

    [deps.NDTensors.weakdeps]
    CUDA = "052768ef-5323-5732-b1bb-66c8b64840ba"

Can someone explain whats going on here? Also if I use Pkg.develop("NDTensors") do I have to worry that Pkg is grabbing the repo from github instead of using the one in the path (I do see that path is correct in the second Manifest I just want to verify)
