Description

If a user specifies an install path within their repository they'll inherit our fixture data. In the code editor, this will pollute their AppMaps with our own.
e.g.

$ bundle install --path vendor/bundle

Research direction

Inspect the gem packaging configuration and identify how fixture data is included in the built gem. Build the gem and install it with a repository-local path such as vendor/bundle, then verify that the fixture AppMaps are no longer shipped.
