Description
The backend code stores the audio files, avatars, etc in $HOME/.CombineFiles (or %UserProfile%\.CombineFiles in Windows). As a result, when running development builds, files are shared between different working directories which represent implementations for different features, issues, etc. This can lead to interference between running The Combine for different development tasks.

Research direction
Start by locating the TypeScript backend code that chooses the storage path for audio files and avatars, then trace how it derives paths on Unix and Windows. Done means separate development working directories no longer share the backend's stored files, while preserving the stated platform behavior.
