   Quoted tilde in PATH can leave literal ~/.local/bin entry, not $HOME

   A user discovered that adding a quoted tilde to PATH (for example export PATH="$PATH:~/.local/bin/") does not perform tilde expansion, producing a literal ./~/.local/bin entry that can be writable. The safe fix is to use $HOME (export PATH="$PATH:$HOME/.local/bin/") or ensure the tilde is unquoted in the assignment.
