 SQLite paths can be relative or absolute; quote paths containing spaces.
+SQLite paths expand leading ~, $VAR, and ${VAR}; undefined variables are errors.
+Expansion never runs shell commands. Quote CLI paths to let dbdash expand them.
 
 PostgreSQL URLs and libpq-style key=value strings are accepted.
 Use sslmode=require for mandatory TLS; certificates and hostnames are verified.
