Research direction

Start with the extension code that creates the .ServiceHub directory and review the linked original issue about the unexpected Library directory. Compare the current storage location with the XDG Base Directory specification. Done means the extension no longer creates unexpected directories in the home directory and the behavior is verified on the affected environment.
