🎯 What: Simplified the directory path traversal validation checks in src/renv-cache/install.sh's empty_dir and rm_dirs functions.
💡 Why: The previous implementation used six explicit string match conditions connected by logical ORs, making the code highly verbose. The refactor replaces this with a single, concise extended regular expression.
Verification: Verified that the regex preserves the exact original behavior via standalone bash testing scripts: it correctly blocks path traversal values (e.g., /foo/../bar, /.) while safely allowing valid hidden folders (e.g., /.hidden). Passed syntax checks with bash -n.
Result: A significant improvement in maintainability and readability by cutting down duplicated, verbose conditional logic.

Refactored the `empty_dir` and `rm_dirs` functions in `src/renv-cache/install.sh` to use a simplified, clean bash regular expression `[[ "$dir" =~ (/\.($|/)|/\.\.($|/)) ]]` instead of a long chain of explicit string comparisons. This improves code readability and maintainability while preserving the exact same functionality to block unsafe path traversal segments (`.`, `..`).
