SAVED AS .ai files going back to older directories for linked files. BUG with links
This has happened several times over the last 6 months. I regularly will open an .ai doc I did a few months ago (generally saved onto an SSD external drive), save as to my desktop (mac mini m4) and do updates to linked images in the file. Later the new .ai is packaged when finished and all the linked files are in the LINK folder. However, after closing and opening the file the next day, or days later, the .ai file has gone back to the original folder location and picked up the old links (linked names are generally saved the same way; 1.jpg, 2.jpg, 3.jpg). Sometimes it will pickup linked files from more than one OLD folder.
Attached screenshot shows yesterdays SAVED AS .ai file and how it went back to last months links, ignoring the exact same files residing in the same folder as the .ai

So you are saying a Packaged .ai file picks links from older paths, and not from the adjacent Links folder inside of the package folder?
