The BUILD_PATH_DEFAULT line ended on a bare absolute: a flip "is never written
back to the config". True wherever the line appears, since it is emitted only
when a default is already recorded, but the sentence does not carry its own
scope and has now been read twice as a rule that overrides new-work's one-time
offer. That is the same failure the previous commit fixed in serve-question,
where an unscoped "never write it" did override the offer.
The directive now states the condition it depends on and names where the
exception lives, so a reader who meets the line without the surrounding code
cannot draw the wrong rule from it.
