// Command paths holds the catalogue's modules to talking over the bus (novox/hq ADR 0260): no module
// names a path that another module's manifest places under /run, /var/lib, /usr/local/lib or /etc.
// Such a path is that module's state or configuration on its machine, and a second module reading or
// writing it is two modules talking through a file, which the bus exists to replace.
//
// A module owns every `path` of its resources under those roots. Every other module's manifest, and
// every file of its own but its documentation, its tests and its binaries, is searched for each as a
// whole path: followed by nothing, a slash, or a character no path takes. A path a container sees
// inside itself (the target of a `volumes` entry) is the container's, and is not searched.
//
// **A drop-in directory is no module's.** A directory whose name ends in `.d` (`/etc/sysctl.d`,
// `/etc/systemd/system/<unit>.d`, `/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d`) is a place several modules each put their own
// file, so naming it is not reaching into one module's state; the files in it are each their placer's.
//
// Two lists beside this file narrow it, each line a path or a finding and its reason after a `#`:
//
// - shared: paths every program on a machine reads as the machine's, not as a message from their
// owner — /etc/hosts, which every resolver reads.
// - known: the findings standing on the day the roots were widened (2026-10-08). The check fails on a
// finding not listed, and on a listed one that no longer occurs, so the list only shrinks.
//
// **Neither list may grow unseen.** With `-base <dir>` holding the base branch's copies of both, a line
// the change adds is refused unless its reason says `allow:` and why — so an addition is a decision a
// reviewer reads in the diff, not a way past the check.
//
// **What it cannot see:** a path built in code from pieces (`filepath.Join("/etc", name)`), one read
// from the environment or a setting, and one reached through a shell the module runs. It reads text,
// not what a program does; review and the runtime's grants cover the rest.
//
// go run . <catalogue root>
//
// Exits 1 on a finding.
