Research direction

Start by locating the code that asks for the "envdir" value and reproduce the prompt. Determine whether the value should default to "{envdir}" or be escaped so it is not interpreted unexpectedly. Done means the question no longer presents this value in an undesirable way and the relevant behavior is covered by a test if the project has one.
