+Title: Test suite writes to /tmp via Dir.mktmpdir
+Description: Dir.mktmpdir uses Dir.tmpdir to resolve the parent directory. Dir.tmpdir checks in order (per /usr/share/ruby/tmpdir.rb lines 130-135): ENV['TMPDIR'], ENV['TMP'], ENV['TEMP'], Etc.systmpdir, /tmp, then current directory. When none of the env vars are set, it falls back to /tmp. This violates the CLAUDE.md hard rule: NEVER write to /tmp. Affected files: spec/spec_helper.rb (CLIHelper#tmp_dir), spec/codeball/destination_spec.rb, and test/entry_test.rb. All calls have after/teardown cleanup so /tmp is not leaked permanently -- the issue is that writes happen to /tmp at all. Fix: set ENV['TMPDIR'] to a project-local directory in spec_helper.rb and test_helper.rb, or pass an explicit second argument to Dir.mktmpdir.
