+Both live in `~/.claude`. Verified 2026-08-22 with `git branch -vv` and
+`ls-remote`: `main` **does** track `origin/main` on `kuhyx/claude-config-local`,
+and that repo is **PRIVATE** (`gh repo view --json visibility`). An earlier note
+claiming `main` there has no remote by design was wrong. So commit and push the
