+# Ticket 010: Fix hardcoded paths in .cursor/mcp.json
+
+- **ID**: ticket-010
+- **Owner**: unresolved:human
+- **Status**: IN_PROGRESS
+- **Workflow state**: EDIT
+- **Created**: 2026-10-13
+
+## Goal and scope
+
+Eliminate hardcoded `/home/tom` user paths from `.cursor/mcp.json` in accordance with `wellmanifest/nohardcode` rule `NOHARDCODE-009`.
+
+## Acceptance criteria
+
+- [x] AC-01: Replace hardcoded absolute user home paths with `${workspaceFolder}` and generic `koru` command.
+- [x] AC-02: Governance check passes (`GOV-PASS`).
+- [x] AC-03: All test suites pass.
+
+## Tracking boundary
+
+This directory contains the minimal reviewed intent. Optional participant prose
+and raw command logs are not required delivery output.
