/* Paths as people write them.
 *
 * `~` is a shell thing: by the time a path reaches us from a config or layout
 * file no shell has touched it, so `cwd="~/dev/api"` was being handed to
 * chdir() literally, failing, and leaving the pane in whatever directory the
 * session happened to be in. Silently \u2014 which is the worst way for a path to
 * be wrong, because the pane still starts and still works.
