Always work exclusively in `/boot/config/plugins/varaverk` (the workspace). Never touch `/mnt/user/Important Shit/Git/Development/Varaverk` — that is a stale dev folder.

**Why:** User spent a week dealing with confusion between dev folder, installed dir, and workspace all drifting out of sync. This caused significant lost work and frustration. The `.plg` now symlinks the installed location directly to the workspace, so there is only one copy.

**How to apply:** If asked to edit any Varaverk file, always use the path under `/boot/config/plugins/varaverk/`. If the dev folder ever comes up, flag that it is stale and should be ignored.
