/**
* Tests for the prompt-override store (settings-storage wave, 2026-09-19):
* src/store/prompt-overrides.ts — override file CRUD, the mirror-layout
* path discipline (traversal guard), and the SOURCE-DERIVED segment list
* (the loader mirrors teacher-agent.ts's composeInstructions discovery;
* these tests pin that the mirror tracks the real src/agent/prompts tree).
* Writes under the repo data/prompts/ (disposable scratch) and cleans up.
