Trevor Woerner Sept. 22, 2026, 2:03 a.m. UTC
Examples across the manuals carry the account names of the people who
wrote them, in home directory paths and in shell prompts that also
name a machine. Use "/home/user" and a bare "$", which is what the rest
of the manuals already do.

The autobuilder's own service account is left alone: the paths containing
it are about autobuilder output rather than about somebody's machine.
