I am having trouble wrapping my head around derivation paths in multisig setups. I had a multisig quorum with the derivation path m/49/0/3. I wanted to swap a key to set up a new wallet. I used Sparrow and, even though the new device used the derivation path m/48/0/0/2 and the other two had m/49/0/3, it still generated the multisig wallet (i.e., Sparrow detected no error).

My question is, can each device in a multisig setup have a different derivation path? I always thought every device had to refer to the same one.
