You are given an absolute path for a Unix-style file system, which always begins with a slash '/'. Your task is to transform this absolute path into its simplified canonical path.

The rules of a Unix-style file system are as follows:

- A single period '.' represents the current directory.

- A double period '..' represents the previous/parent directory.

- Multiple consecutive slashes such as '//' and '///' are treated as a single slash '/'.

- Any sequence of periods that does not match the rules above should be treated as a valid directory or file name. For example, '...' and '....' are valid directory or file names.

The simplified canonical path should follow these rules:

- The path must start with a single slash '/'.

- Directories within the path must be separated by exactly one slash '/'.

- The path must not end with a slash '/', unless it is the root directory.

- The path must not have any single or double periods ('.' and '..') used to denote current or parent directories.

Return the simplified canonical path.
