Path privacy (no local machine layout in repo)

Purpose: Keep documentation and examples from embedding a specific developer’s filesystem layout.

Rules

Prefer neutral placeholders in docs and examples:
- <project-root> — clone location of this repository
- $HOME — user home directory (shell examples)
- <path-to-primary-repo-clone> — when describing git worktrees vs. primary checkout
Avoid concrete patterns that mirror one machine:
- Absolute paths under the macOS multi-user home volume (the segment spelled Users after the root)
- Home-relative shortcuts that encode a personal directory layout (e.g. ~ + /Dev/ + project name)
- Windows profile-style paths under C: + \ + Users + \ + account name

Run:

uv run python scripts/check_no_personal_paths.py

This scans git ls-files text files and exits with a non-zero status if disallowed patterns appear.

Pre-commit can run the same check (see .pre-commit-config.yaml).
