Validate the override before merging. Security Architecture ReviewSecurity architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to The setup and Windows hook now select the same active Codex home, with checks that reject unusable paths.

In `@internal/setup/setup.go`:
- Line 1835: Update the home-directory validation in codexConfigPath to reject
values that are not absolute, in addition to errors and blank paths, before
selecting the config path; add a regression test confirming a relative home is
rejected and cannot produce a working-directory-relative path for installCodex.
In `@plugin/codex_windows_user_prompt_test.go`:
- Line 81: Make the competing config paths produce distinguishable outcomes in
the Windows hook tests. At plugin/codex_windows_user_prompt_test.go:81-81,
isolate the profile for each subtest or give the alternative-path config a
different result; at plugin/codex_windows_user_prompt_test.go:163-163, remove
the preceding explicit-home config or give it a different marker before testing
the default home.
In `@plugin/codex/scripts/run-native-hook.ps1`:
- Line 15: Require USERPROFILE to be fully qualified before using it to locate
the fallback config: replace the IsPathRooted check with validation that accepts
drive-absolute paths or UNC paths, rejecting drive-relative and root-relative
paths. Keep the existing blank-value exit behavior.

- Line 189: Update the root-relative fixture in the test cases to use a single
leading backslash, so it tests `USERPROFILE` as a root-relative path rather than
an incomplete UNC path. Keep the incomplete-UNC case separately only if it is
needed.
