**`getOwnerHomeDir(email)` ignores its argument** whenever `HOME_DIR` is set, which it is here —
every caller resolves to the owner's real login home. Safe only because all seven callers sit
behind `execution` permissions. If per-user home confinement is ever attempted, this is the
function to start from.
