Research direction

Start by reproducing the reported leeway collect failure from the gitpod-com/postman example, focusing on builtin-variable resolution and the Git working-copy check when package sources use git submodules. Trace the collect entry point and identify how submodule paths are handled. Done means the command resolves the variables successfully for that layout and the regression is covered by a test.
