  "_comment": "EXAMPLE per-machine path overrides (ADR-025). Copy to ~/.config/dotfiles/machine.json (Windows: %USERPROFILE%\\.config\\dotfiles\\machine.json) and edit. List ONLY the keys this machine relocates vs env-contract.json defaults; omit the rest. The `machine` and `pools` blocks below are separate from `paths` and are read by `dotf agent run`. After editing, run `dotf env generate`. The real machine.json lives OUTSIDE any repo and is never committed — this example is the only path file that belongs in git.",
