Description
### Bug description
Inspecting our universal HFGL model causes the creation of these empty directory in your current working directory:
```
.
├── logs_and_checkpoints/
├── preprocessed/
│ └── YourDataSet/
...
```
### How to reproduce the bug
```python
everyvoice checkpoint inspect /hifigan_universal_v1_everyvoice.ckpt
```
### Error messages and logs
Between printing the config and the arch, these two messages occur:
```
2025-08-28 17:02:56.284 | INFO | everyvoice.config.validation_helpers:directory_path_must_exist:89 - Directory at logs_and_checkpoints does not exist. Creating...
2025-08-28 17:02:56.286 | INFO | everyvoice.config.validation_helpers:directory_path_must_exist:89 - Directory at preprocessed/YourDataSet does not exist. Creating...
```
Note that in the config that gets printed from this universal checkpoint, this line occurs under `"preprocessing"`:
```
"save_dir": "preprocessed/YourDataSet",
```
which at least explains where the folder name `YourDataSet` comes from, though it really should still not get created!

Contributor guide
Research direction
Run `everyvoice checkpoint inspect /hifigan_universal_v1_everyvoice.ckpt` and start by reading `everyvoice.config.validation_helpers:directory_path_must_exist` around line 89. Trace how the printed preprocessing `save_dir` and `logs_and_checkpoints` paths are validated; done means inspection prints the config and architecture without creating directories in the current directory.
