2513	Magic Folder: the localdir argument to the 'tahoe magic-folder {create,join}' commands should be expanded to an absolute path	daira	dawuud	"If you pass a relative path as the local directory to the `tahoe magic-folder create` or `tahoe magic-folder join` command, it will be copied into the node's `tahoe.cfg` entry for `[magic_folder]local.directory` as-is.

This causes the running node to expand the path relative to its node directory, which is counterintuitive and insecure (since the local directory tree will include the `private/` subdirectory).

The `create` and `join` commands should expand the path relative to the current directory of the command. It may also be useful to detect cases where there is a node directory underneath a local directory and avoid uploading those files, in case the user does this by accident. (This might cause an infinite regress if the node directory is for a server that is storing shares for the Magic Folder DMD -- and is in any case undesirable.)"	defect	closed	major	undecided	code-frontend-magic-folder	1.10.1	fixed	tahoe-magic-folder cli security reliability usability error
