Normalize tilde-based file paths to ensure reliable file tool operations when paths begin with ~, preventing path failures and misreads.
Execute a path normalization on a sample path such as ~/projects/plan.md to obtain an absolute path.

Path normalization for tilde prefixes resolves ~/ and ~user/ formats into absolute paths across POSIX and Windows systems. This process ensures file tools receive valid directory locations for read, edit, and write operations without encountering resolution errors.
File tools fail with tilde paths because they lack native home directory expansion. Normalizing paths starting with ~ resolves the prefix into an absolute path, preventing misreads and ensuring the file tool locates the target file correctly.
Path normalization supports both POSIX and Windows filesystem tilde formats. It resolves home directory prefixes across both operating systems, converting formats like ~/... and their Windows equivalents into reliable absolute paths for file operations.
To convert a tilde-based path to an absolute path, apply home directory resolution to expand the ~ prefix. This normalization process transforms paths like ~/docs/config.txt into their full absolute equivalents, making them safe for script read and write operations.
A key limitation of normalizing tilde paths without file existence checks is that it only guarantees a syntactically correct absolute path. It does not verify the file exists, meaning subsequent read or write operations could still fail if the target file is missing.
