Campaign VT slice 1 Part A, deliverable 2 (foundation only - see the
closeout note in the final report for what is not yet wired up).
VtankProfileDirectory.cs resolves the on-disk VTank profile directory
through IPluginHost.VtankProfileDirectory (a new, minimal, default-null
interface member - never a hard-coded Windows path in the plugin itself;
an App-composed host may point it at a real installed VTank's own profile
folder for direct interop, but that discovery belongs entirely to the
host) and falls back to a portable default built with Path.Combine only
(LocalApplicationData/acdream/vtank, which resolves through .NET's
XDG-aware base-directory logic on Linux). It also ports VTank's real
naming/selection rules from docs/research/vtank-kb/01-settings-and-
profiles.md section 3: the per-character auto file (--Name_Server.ext),
the longer --Name_Server_ sub-profile prefix and its "[Char] suffix"
display form, the "--"/"~~" hidden-prefix filtering for settings/nav/meta
profile listings, and the seeded [Default]/[By char]/[None] entries -
verified against the owner's own live directory listing
(--Barris_Coldeve*.usd family).
Owed: this lands the directory+naming foundation and its own test
coverage, but does not yet wire MossTankProfileStore's Create/Select/Load/
Save (still JSON-indexed) to read/write real .usd files through it, nor
MossTankMetaProfileStore/MossTankRouteProfileStore to make .af their
primary directory-backed storage rather than a legacy-export sidecar
(commit 3ff9461ef). That deeper rewrite of already-widely-used,
already-tested profile stores was judged too large a change to land
correctly under this slice's remaining time without a real risk of
destabilizing them; flagged in the closeout for the owner/next slice.
