Summary

Closes #494

Retire the environment-mutation machinery in test_support and add a hard gate so the pattern cannot be reintroduced. All production seams now accept injected base-directory/environment data instead of reading ambient process state; the real CWD is read only at the command-line composition boundary.

Changes

Phase 1 — explicit base-directory seams

  • src/manifest/workspace.rs: resolve_absolute_workspace_root now takes an explicit base directory; open_manifest_workspace and wrappers thread it through. No more internal std::env::current_dir().
  • src/manifest/glob/{mod.rs,walk.rs}: expand_glob, glob_paths, open_root_dir, open_literal_prefix accept an explicit base for relative literal prefixes. The Dir::open_ambient_dir(".", ...) call is removed.
  • src/manifest/mod.rs / query.rs: captures the already-resolved ManifestWorkspace.root in the glob() Jinja closure and threads it into expand_glob.
  • Follows ADR-008: capture CWD as data at one composition boundary.

Phase 2 — test migration

All manifest, glob, and BDD tests now pass explicit base directories instead of mutating CWD. GlobalStateGuard/ensure_global_state_lock and their EnvLock/CwdGuard usage are gone; project_scope_file(directory: Option<&Path>) is used for configuration discovery.

Phase 3 — deletion + audit

  • Deleted: test_support/src/env_lock.rs, test_support/src/cwd_guard.rs (previously env_guard.rs, env_var_guard.rs, path_guard.rs were already removed).
  • test_support/src/env.rs now holds only the pure helpers prepend_path_value and write_manifest.
  • Audit: test_support/src/http/mod.rs duration_from_env/from_env_provider read through the mockable::Env seam (env.raw(...)), not std::env::var — confirmed, no change needed.

Phase 4 — enforcement gate (demonstrated to fail)

make lint now runs lint-env-mutation first. The grep gate (scripts/check-env-mutation.sh) rejects std::env::set_var, std::env::remove_var, and std::env::set_current_dir under src/, tests/, and test_support/, matching only the full std::env:: path so Command::env/env_clear/current_dir stay allowed. Both clippy.toml and test_support/clippy.toml gain the set_current_dir disallowed-method entry in lockstep.

Deliberate-violation proof — a temporary tests/env_mutation_gate_proof.rs containing let _ = std::env::set_current_dir("/tmp"); produced:

<local>/tests/env_mutation_gate_proof.rs:3:    let _ = std::env::set_current_dir("/tmp");
error: in-process environment mutation is forbidden (see AGENTS.md testing mandate)
make: *** [Makefile:101: lint-env-mutation] Error 1

and independently via clippy disallowed-methods:

error: use of a disallowed method `std::env::set_current_dir`
 --> tests/env_mutation_gate_proof.rs:3:13
  = note: inject a base-directory seam; confine CWD changes to Command::current_dir

The temporary file was removed and the tree left clean.

Validation

  • make check-fmt ✓ (exit 0)
  • make lint ✓ (exit 0) — includes lint-env-mutation, clippy -D warnings, and Whitaker
  • make test ✓ (exit 0) — suite + doctests green (30 passed, 6 ignored in test_support)
  • CodeRabbit --agent review: 0 findings across 28 reviewed files

Reviewer's Guide

Retires test-support environment and CWD mutation utilities by introducing explicit base-directory seams in manifest/glob code, updating tests to use injected bases, and enforcing a new lint/grep gate that forbids in-process environment mutation.

File-Level Changes

Change Details Files
Introduce explicit base-directory seams for manifests and glob expansion so callers inject roots instead of relying on process CWD.
  • Resolve manifest workspace roots using an optional injected base path, keeping ambient current_dir only as a fallback.
  • Anchor relative glob patterns to an optional injected base directory and strip that base from returned matches to preserve pattern-relative spellings.
  • Adapt glob capability root opening to take normalized pattern strings and an injected base instead of reading the current directory.
  • Thread an optional manifest workspace root into the Jinja glob helper so manifest glob patterns resolve against the workspace root.
  • Update CLI discovery to resolve explicit relative config paths against the CLI-provided working directory flag.

Refactor tests to use explicit base directories and project-scoped file helpers instead of mutating process CWD or environment state.
  • Update manifest and glob unit tests to pass explicit base directories into the new seams and stop using CwdGuard/EnvLock.
  • Simplify manifest workspace tests by passing optional base paths rather than changing the process working directory.
  • Adjust BDD steps for configuration discovery and manifest compilation to rely on absolute paths and CLI directory configuration instead of CWD mutation.
  • Change glob-related test data manifests so glob patterns are workspace-relative instead of referencing tests/data prefixes.

Delete the environment-locking and CWD-guard infrastructure from test_support and confine env helpers to pure utilities.
  • Remove env_lock and cwd_guard modules and their re-exports from the test_support crate.
  • Trim test_support::env down to pure helpers without any environment mutation machinery.
  • Clean up localizer tests to no longer reference env_lock recovery semantics.
  • Update env-related test documentation to reflect the absence of process-global env and CWD coordination.

Add a hard enforcement gate that forbids in-process environment mutation across src, tests, and test_support.
  • Introduce a lint-env-mutation Makefile target that runs first in the lint pipeline.
  • Add a shell script that greps for std::env::set_var, std::env::remove_var, and std::env::set_current_dir in Rust sources and fails on matches.
  • Disallow std::env::set_current_dir via Clippy disallowed-methods in both the main crate and test_support configuration.
  • Document glob behaviour to be manifest-root-relative to align with the new seams.

Assessment against linked issues

Issue Objective Addressed Explanation
#494 Remove the remaining environment-mutation machinery from test_support, including EnvLock, CwdGuard, and the mutating helpers in env.rs, while migrating callers to explicit seams or pure data composition.
#494 Audit environment access in test_support and production code so environment and working-directory behavior use injected seams or command-builder configuration rather than in-process global mutation.
#494 Add and wire an enforcement gate into make lint that rejects std::env::set_var, std::env::remove_var, and std::env::set_current_dir under src/, tests/, and test_support/, with the gate's failure behavior demonstrated.

Summary

  • Remove EnvLock, CwdGuard, and related process-global state mutation from test_support and tests.
  • Pass explicit base directories through manifest workspace and glob resolution.
  • Resolve relative globs from the manifest workspace root.
  • Resolve relative configuration paths from cli.directory.
  • Add a make lint check that rejects direct environment and working-directory mutation.
  • Disallow std::env::set_current_dir in Clippy configuration.
  • Update fixtures and documentation for manifest-relative glob paths.
  • Validate formatting, linting, tests, and doctests for issue #494.

Walkthrough

Relative configuration and glob paths now resolve from explicit directory bases. Manifest parsing carries the workspace root into glob expansion. Tests no longer mutate process-wide environment or working-directory state. Linting rejects these mutations.

Globs walk without changing ground,
Guards fade from the tests,
Lint keeps mutations out,
Manifests guide the way.


Caution

Pre-merge checks failed

Please resolve all errors before merging. Addressing warnings is optional.

  • Ignore

❌ Failed checks (1 error, 6 warnings)

Check name Status Explanation Resolution
Testing (Overall) ❌ Error The new glob, workspace, and CLI behaviours have substantive tests, but the new mutation gate has no committed test; make lint only checks the clean path and passes if the gate becomes a no-op. Add a durable gate test that proves rejection of each forbidden std::env call and acceptance of Command builder calls, then run it from the test target.
User-Facing Documentation ⚠️ Warning The guide still states that explicit --config paths use the shell's original directory, but this PR resolves relative paths against --directory. Update the --directory section in docs/users-guide.md to describe the new explicit --config path resolution and add the required migration note.
Developer Documentation ⚠️ Warning The PR adds base-directory seams and a lint gate, but changes no developer-guide or ADR text; the guide still prescribes deleted EnvLock/CwdGuard and ambient glob/config behaviour. Update docs/developers-guide.md and add ADR/design addenda for injected base-directory seams, manifest-root globbing, -C config resolution, and lint-env-mutation; remove obsolete guard guidance.
Testing (Unit And Behavioural) ⚠️ Warning The new discovery test covers the internal discover_file_layers helper, but no changed public-binary test invokes -C with a relative --config path. Add an assert_cmd test that runs the real netsuke binary with -C <dir> --config relative.toml and asserts the command uses that configuration.
Testing (Property / Proof) ⚠️ Warning The changed glob seam introduces base-anchoring and path-stripping invariants over arbitrary patterns and bases, but the diff adds only example-based tests; existing property tests are unchanged. Add substantive proptest cases for relative, absolute and absent bases, including .., separators and rebasing; alternatively provide an exhaustive proof for strip_base and root consistency.
Testing (Compile-Time / Ui) ⚠️ Warning The PR adds Rust compile-time enforcement via Clippy's disallowed-methods and a lint gate, but the diff adds no trybuild or equivalent compile-fail/UI test. Add a committed negative UI test that proves std::env::set_current_dir fails under the configured Clippy or lint harness, with a passing control case.
Performance And Resource Use ⚠️ Warning With a manifest base, every matched file passes an existing String through strip_base, whose to_string_lossy().replace(...) allocates again per match; this regresses the glob hot path. Strip the base in place, or normalise before one relative-path allocation. Add a benchmark for large glob expansions to verify allocation and latency behaviour.
✅ Passed checks (13 passed)
Check name Status Explanation
Linked Issues check ✅ Passed The changes satisfy issue #494 by removing the guards, migrating callers, adding the lint gate, and documenting successful validation.
Out of Scope Changes check ✅ Passed The changes remain within issue #494 scope, including production seams, test migration, enforcement, documentation, and related coverage.
Docstring Coverage ✅ Passed Docstring check was indeterminate for this PR — some files could not be analyzed in time. Not blocking.
Module-Level Documentation ✅ Passed Accept: all 488 Rust files begin with //!; every changed Rust module retains clear purpose documentation, and the pull request adds no undocumented Rust module.
Unit Architecture ✅ Passed Pass this check: the diff replaces test CWD and environment mutation with injected data; glob and workspace reads return Results, and the new mutation gate passes with no direct calls.
Domain Architecture ✅ Passed Keep the change: the diff leaves src/ast and src/ir unchanged, and confines filesystem paths to manifest glob/workspace and CLI adapter modules with injected bases.
Observability ✅ Passed Retain PASS: changed path resolution keeps structured workspace and config diagnostics, bounded glob outcome metrics, and redacted tracing; no new service boundary or unobserved failure path was in...
Security And Privacy ✅ Passed The PR adds no secrets or credentials. Changed path handling keeps capability-scoped glob access, and the new gate uses fixed, quoted paths without shell interpolation.
Concurrency And State ✅ Passed Accept the change: the diff removes process-global EnvLock/CwdGuard mutation, adds owned base/environment inputs, and introduces no new shared mutable state or async or lock path.
Architectural Complexity And Maintainability ✅ Passed The diff adds small explicit Path seams and a 20-line lint gate, deletes 386 lines of global-state guards, and adds no dependencies or module layers.
Rust Compiler Lint Integrity ✅ Passed Accept: the diff adds no broad unused/dead-code suppression, deletes stale guards, and the sole new clone owns the manifest-root snapshot for the Jinja closure.
Title check ✅ Passed Accept the title because it identifies the main change and references issue #494.
Description check ✅ Passed Accept the description because it clearly explains the changes, objectives, enforcement gate, references, and validation results.

P1 Badge Keep explicit config paths independent of -C

When --config or NETSUKE_CONFIG supplies a relative path alongside -C, this now loads directory/path instead of resolving the selector against the process working directory. That contradicts the explicit contract in docs/netsuke-design.md:3033-3036 and docs/netsuke-design.md:3117-3120, and can silently load a different project-local file if both paths exist; preserve the selector path here and use -C only for automatic discovery and manifest lookup.

@leynos, keep this thread open. The latest revision does not resolve the finding.

The code graph is:

resolve_config_selectorcollect_file_layers_with_envload_layers_from_path_with_warning.

In src/cli/discovery.rs, collect_file_layers_with_env still transforms a relative explicit selector into Cli::directory.join(path) before it loads the file. The test src/cli/discovery_layer_tests.rs::explicit_relative_config_uses_cli_directory also asserts that behaviour.

Use this AI agent prompt:

Fix the explicit configuration selector semantics in leynos/netsuke.

Problem:
`src/cli/discovery.rs::collect_file_layers_with_env` currently resolves a relative explicit configuration selector from `--config` or `NETSUKE_CONFIG` against `Cli::directory` (`-C`). This changes the selected file from the selector path to `directory/path`.

Required behaviour:
- Keep `--config` and `NETSUKE_CONFIG` selectors independent of `-C`.
- Pass the selected explicit `Path` directly to `load_layers_from_path_with_warning`.
- Apply `Cli::directory` only to automatic configuration discovery and other documented CLI path behaviours.
- Preserve absolute explicit selector behaviour.
- Preserve selector precedence: `--config` before `NETSUKE_CONFIG`.

Tests:
- Replace or update `src/cli/discovery_layer_tests.rs::explicit_relative_config_uses_cli_directory`.
- Add regression tests for a relative `--config` selector with `-C`.
- Add regression tests for a relative `NETSUKE_CONFIG` selector with `-C`.
- In each regression test, create different files at the process-working-directory selector path and at the `-C` path. Assert that Netsuke loads the selector path and does not load the `-C` path.
- Retain coverage that automatic discovery uses `-C`.

Documentation:
- Verify `docs/netsuke-design.md` and user documentation describe the resulting explicit-selector semantics correctly.
- Update documentation only if it conflicts with the required behaviour.

Validation:
- Run the focused discovery tests and the relevant CLI configuration-selection tests.
- Run `make check-fmt`, `make lint`, and `make test` if the repository workflow permits.

🧬 Code Graph Analysis Results

src/cli/discovery.rs

  • Lines 124–126: discover_file_layers delegates configuration discovery to discover_file_layers_with_normalizer using the filesystem path normalizer.

  • Lines 129–155: discover_file_layers_with_normalizer performs discovery, converts successful layers and JSON preference into DiscoveredLayers, and stores errors with default JSON behavior when discovery fails.

  • Lines 172–214: collect_file_layers_with_env applies CLI config-path precedence over NETSUKE_CONFIG; automatic discovery is used when no explicit path exists. Relative explicit paths are resolved against -C, then loaded with load_layers_from_path_with_warning.

  • Lines 221–229: discovery_env_source exposes only the fixed discovery-related environment keys to automatic discovery.

  • Lines 283–287: env_config_path ignores unset or empty environment values and converts non-empty values into PathBufs.

  • Lines 303–339: load_layers_from_path_with_warning loads explicit configuration chains, converts values to file merge layers, and returns errors plus warnings for missing or invalid files.

P2 Badge Remove the retired EnvLock guidance

The replacement lint policy is introduced here, but docs/developers-guide.md:2362-2380 and docs/developers-guide.md:2671-2676 still instruct contributors to import the now-deleted EnvLock and CwdGuard and to call the newly forbidden std::env::set_current_dir. Update those sections to describe injected base directories and child-process isolation so the documented contributor workflow remains usable.

@leynos, keep this thread open.

Codegraph analysis confirms that TestWorld defines only track_env_var and shutdown_http_server. It does not define ensure_global_state_lock. The TestWorld state table also still lists the deleted global_state_lock field.

Give an AI agent this prompt:

Update `docs/developers-guide.md` to remove stale BDD `TestWorld` documentation after the environment-mutation refactor.

In the `TestWorld` scenario-state table, remove `global_state_lock` from the Environment state row. Update the row description so it describes only `env_vars_forward` as the child-process environment map.

In the “Key TestWorld methods” section, remove the `ensure_global_state_lock()` entry. Keep the documented methods aligned with `tests/bdd/fixtures/mod.rs`, where `TestWorld` currently exposes `track_env_var` and `shutdown_http_server`.

Do not reintroduce `EnvLock`, `CwdGuard`, process working-directory mutation, or process-global environment mutation. Preserve the existing guidance that uses injected base directories and isolated child processes.

Run `make check-fmt`, `make lint`, and `make test`.

None instead of base, since the relative base is already incorporated into
search. Add regression coverage verifying that a relative base such as fixtures
resolves correctly without duplicating the directory component.
- Line 27: Use camino UTF-8 path types throughout the injected glob-base flow:
update glob_paths, expand_glob, strip_base, open_root_dir, and
open_literal_prefix, and store ManifestParse::manifest_root as Utf8PathBuf while
passing workspace.root directly. Apply the related doctest and parent-relative
test caller updates; src/manifest/glob/mod.rs lines 27-27 is the primary change

@coderabbitai Have the following failed checks now been resolved?

If further work is required, please provide an AI agent prompt for the remaining work to be done to address these failures.

Do not treat warnings as optional or aspirational. Where a change is out of scope for this PR, propose a GitHub issue unless one exists already. (Treat o11y, code safety, documentation and validation coverage as in scope).

❌ Failed checks (1 error, 6 warnings)

Check name Status Explanation Resolution
Testing (Overall) ❌ Error The new glob, workspace, and CLI behaviours have substantive tests, but the new mutation gate has no committed test; make lint only checks the clean path and passes if the gate becomes a no-op. Add a durable gate test that proves rejection of each forbidden std::env call and acceptance of Command builder calls, then run it from the test target.
User-Facing Documentation ⚠️ Warning The guide still states that explicit --config paths use the shell's original directory, but this PR resolves relative paths against --directory. Update the --directory section in docs/users-guide.md to describe the new explicit --config path resolution and add the required migration note.
Developer Documentation ⚠️ Warning The PR adds base-directory seams and a lint gate, but changes no developer-guide or ADR text; the guide still prescribes deleted EnvLock/CwdGuard and ambient glob/config behaviour. Update docs/developers-guide.md and add ADR/design addenda for injected base-directory seams, manifest-root globbing, -C config resolution, and lint-env-mutation; remove obsolete guard guidance.
Testing (Unit And Behavioural) ⚠️ Warning The new discovery test covers the internal discover_file_layers helper, but no changed public-binary test invokes -C with a relative --config path. Add an assert_cmd test that runs the real netsuke binary with -C <dir> --config relative.toml and asserts the command uses that configuration.
Testing (Property / Proof) ⚠️ Warning The changed glob seam introduces base-anchoring and path-stripping invariants over arbitrary patterns and bases, but the diff adds only example-based tests; existing property tests are unchanged. Add substantive proptest cases for relative, absolute and absent bases, including .., separators and rebasing; alternatively provide an exhaustive proof for strip_base and root consistency.
Testing (Compile-Time / Ui) ⚠️ Warning The PR adds Rust compile-time enforcement via Clippy's disallowed-methods and a lint gate, but the diff adds no trybuild or equivalent compile-fail/UI test. Add a committed negative UI test that proves std::env::set_current_dir fails under the configured Clippy or lint harness, with a passing control case.
Performance And Resource Use ⚠️ Warning With a manifest base, every matched file passes an existing String through strip_base, whose to_string_lossy().replace(...) allocates again per match; this regresses the glob hot path. Strip the base in place, or normalise before one relative-path allocation. Add a benchmark for large glob expansions to verify allocation and latency behaviour.

resolve_absolute_workspace_root and open_manifest_workspace now accept an
Option<&Path> base that anchors relative manifest parents. None keeps the
ambient current-directory fallback so production behaviour is unchanged;
tests inject the temporary directory instead of mutating the process CWD.

The manifest workspace unit tests drop the local CurrentDirGuard struct and
the EnvLock import, and from_path_uses_manifest_directory_for_caches stops
changing the process working directory (the cache assertion no longer needs
an ambient CWD swap once the workspace root is absolute).

Part of #494.
Keep BDD manifest, IR and configuration scenarios in-process without
mutating the harness environment or working directory. Resolve test
manifest paths absolutely and anchor relative configuration selectors to
the CLI directory, retaining existing assertions and precedence coverage.

The TestWorld drops GlobalStateGuard, ensure_global_state_lock, and the
EnvLock/CwdGuard imports; the BDD steps no longer call
std::env::set_current_dir.

Brings in the dependency work that unblocks #494.
expand_glob and glob_paths now accept an injected base anchoring relative
patterns. When a manifest is loaded from a path, query.rs captures the
resolved workspace root and the Jinja glob() closure passes it down, so
relative glob patterns resolve against the manifest's own directory instead
of the process working directory. String parsing keeps the ambient
current-directory fallback at the composition root.

open_root_dir and open_literal_prefix take the effective search path and the
base, opening the base instead of '.' for relative prefixes. The base is
stripped back off matches, so results keep their pattern-relative spelling.

The glob capability tests inject a temp subdirectory as the explicit base
for the parent-relative case instead of mutating the process CWD.

Part of #494.
parent_relative_pattern_expands now writes the manifest into the temp
subdirectory and loads it through manifest::from_path, so the resolved
workspace root anchors the relative glob pattern. The test no longer
acquires EnvLock, CwdGuard, or calls std::env::set_current_dir.

Also apply rustfmt to the glob seam's signature lines.
Rename open_literal_prefix's injected-base parameter to avoid shadowing the
destructured base binding, and rewrite the joined-search selection with
Option::map_or_else per clippy::option_if_let_else. Drop a needless borrow
in the manifest glob capability-scope test.
Condense the glob base-seam doc comments and inline the injected-base anchor
so walk.rs returns to the 400-line ceiling and manifest/mod.rs stays under
it, satisfying the Whitaker module-max-lines gate.
The manifest workspace, glob, and BDD migrations landed earlier in this
branch left EnvLock and CwdGuard without callers. Delete both modules, drop
their declarations and the CwdGuard re-export from test_support::lib, and
remove the remaining doc references to EnvLock. The audit recorded in the
associated milestone confirms test_support::env now holds only the pure
prepend_path_value and write_manifest helpers, and http::duration_from_env
already reads through the mockable::Env seam.
Add a lint-env-mutation target that greps src/, tests/, and test_support/
for std::env::set_var, remove_var, and set_current_dir, matching only the
full std::env:: path so Command::env/env_clear/current_dir builder calls
stay allowed. Wire the target into make lint so every commit is gated.

Also ban std::env::set_current_dir via clippy disallowed-methods in both
clippy.toml and test_support/clippy.toml, keeping the two lists in lockstep.

Verified the gate: a deliberate tests/env_mutation_gate_proof.rs line
"let _ = std::env::set_current_dir(\"/tmp\")" fails both lint-env-mutation
and the clippy disallowed-methods lint; the file was removed afterwards.

Part of #494.
Relative glob patterns now resolve against the manifest's workspace root,
so tests/data/glob.yml and glob_windows.yml switch from repo-root-relative
patterns (tests/data/glob_files/*.txt) to their own directory
(glob_files/*.txt), and the name filters follow. Document the base in the
users' guide glob section.
expand_glob embedded the injected base in the search text but then passed
that same base to open_root_dir, so a relative base was opened and then
traversed under its own name (double path component) and never matched.
Resolve the base to a canonical, symlink-free absolute path before joining
it into the search text: a workspace reached through a symbolic link now
expands relative globs instead of rejecting the link as a literal prefix
component. The capability root is opened from the combined search prefix,
with regression coverage for both a relative base and a symlinked base.

Part of #494.
check-env-mutation.sh now captures grep's exit status instead of using it
as an if-condition: no match (status 1) stays clean, but a real grep
failure (for example an unreadable directory, status 2) now fails the gate
rather than silently passing.

The BDD manifest-compilation comments still claimed relative glob patterns
resolve because the process CWD stays at the project root; manifest parsing
injects the manifest directory as the glob base, so the comments now say so.

Part of #494.

Docs:
- users-guide: explicit --config resolves against --directory when supplied.
- netsuke-design: updated the config-resolution bullet to match.
- developers-guide: replaced the retired EnvLock/CwdGuard sections with the
  injected-seam guidance and the lint gate; refreshed the ordering rules and
  the config-discovery note.

Glob:
- rename the shadowed base binding in expand_glob to satisfy
  clippy::shadow-reuse.

Part of #494.
The relative-base and symlinked-base tests were added to capability.rs,
which pushed the module over whitaker's module-max-lines lint. Move them
into a dedicated base.rs test module so each module stays within the limit
while keeping the two base-anchoring invariants tested.

Part of #494.
The manifest root is already camino UTF-8 data (workspace.root), so the
Option<PathBuf> crossing in ManifestParse forces an into_std_path_buf()
conversion at the only consumer. Propagate Option<&camino::Utf8Path>
through the internal glob APIs (expand_glob, glob_paths, open_root_dir,
open_literal_prefix, strip_base) and keep std::path::Path only at the
external from_path / from_path_with_policy_and_env boundaries.

Extract pattern preparation into PreparedGlob so expand_glob stays under
the CodeScene line ceiling: validation, normalisation, base canonicalisation
(canonicalize_utf8, preserving the symlink fallback), the relative-only base
join, and the strip base all move into PreparedGlob::new. expand_glob keeps
matching, capability-prefix opening, error wrapping, and result collection.

strip_base drops the double allocation: the matched path is already an owned
String, so strip the base lexically and replace separators in place rather
than going through to_string_lossy().replace(..).

Test call sites that passed &Path bases now convert through Utf8Path::from_path,
and the glob_paths doctest pins the new signature.
A relative --config or NETSUKE_CONFIG selector selects exactly the file it
names relative to the shell original working directory. -C/--directory
continues to anchor automatic discovery only, matching ADR-004 and the
documented explicit-selector contract.

The previous release anchored relative selectors onto -C, which silently
changed which file a selector selects. Replace the discovery-layer join
with a direct load of the selector path, and replace the unit test that
asserted the old behavior with two regression tests: an explicit --config
selector with -C set (with a decoy at the -C-joined path), and an env
NETSUKE_CONFIG selector with -C set. Both assert the selector path loads
and the -C path is never selected.
The users-guide claimed an explicit --config path resolves against the
-C/--directory anchor when supplied. Selectors are in fact resolved
relative to the shell original working directory, independent of -C,
which anchors only automatic discovery. State that contract in the
users-guide; netsuke-design already documents it correctly.

Remove the stale TestWorld documentation in the developers-guide: the
Environment state group no longer has a global_state_lock (the BDD
process-global CWD lock was retired), and ensure_global_state_lock is no
longer a TestWorld method. The row now lists only env_vars_forward as the
child-process environment map, and the methods section keeps track_env_var.
The rebased branch retired process-global CWD mutation (#494), which left two
configuration-discovery BDD scenarios passing relative --config selectors that
resolved against the process working directory. Expand a {temp_dir} placeholder
in apply_cli so scenarios name the selector absolutely, mirroring the absolute
NETSUKE_CONFIG form that already passed.

Also fix the two gate violations surfaced by make lint:
- PreparedGlob::new shadowed its pattern parameter (clippy shadow_reuse);
  bind the GlobPattern state as pattern_state.
- discovery_layer_tests.rs exceeded Whitaker's 400-line module limit after the
  selector-independence tests landed; split them into
  discovery_layer_selector_tests.rs.
