Subject: [PATCH] [FIX] correct the recovery paths in the previous commit's
 message
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The previous message's recovery commands are mangled: I interpolated a shell
variable immediately before a path beginning with "P", and in zsh `${var:P}` is the
realpath modifier — so `$PRESERVE:PENDING.md…` expanded to
`/Users/davidglidden/dotfiles/e6da3bdENDING.md…`. A false pointer in the permanent
record, which is the defect class this session spent the day catching. Appending a
correction rather than force-pushing over pushed history.

The backups are recoverable, verified by running these:

  git show 'e6da3bd:PENDING.md.bak-2026-07-28-pre-split'                    # 1847 lines
  git show 'e6da3bd:claude/memory/MEMORY.md.bak-2026-07-27-pre-compact'     #   69 lines

Quote the whole ref, or zsh eats it again.
