OFFICER_ROOT, defaulting to <user home>/officerdev. One directory holding the
four things Officer is made of, per docs/sidecar-app-store.md — the app, its
data, the item store, and any containers the app store provisions — so the whole
installation can be moved, backed up or deleted as a unit.
Asked at the start with the other questions rather than at the point it is first
needed. It decides the shape of several later steps: where the repository is
cloned, where DATA_PATH sits beside it, and which filesystem the app store's
bind mounts come out of. Asking once up front also means the run can be described
before it starts rather than discovered as it goes.
A leading ~ is expanded explicitly. It arrives as a literal from a read or an
environment variable — nothing expands it there — and would otherwise create a
directory actually named "~" in whatever the working directory happened to be.
Relative paths are refused with the value named, and a trailing slash is trimmed
so the path composes cleanly with what gets appended to it.
Nothing creates the directory yet; that belongs to officer-setup. This records
the answer and reports it, including whether it already exists.
Verified: Enter takes the default, ~ expands, trailing slash trims, OFFICER_ROOT
in the environment skips the prompt, and a relative path fails with the value
named.
