Debugging skill should not inspect unrelated installed mods without permission

During Claude Code baseline testing, cities2-mod-debugging started from the current test project but then inspected unrelated installed mods to infer UI bundle layout. The user had not authorized those unrelated installed mods as part of the target under test.

Remove machine-specific local path literals from test fixtures

Objective

Replace hard-coded local Windows user-path literals in hand-written test fixtures with neutral constructed placeholders while preserving Windows diagnostic and path-guard coverage.
