Since when `{...}' syntax is a glob pattern? What does `{a,b}/c' produce when there is no directory named `a'?

Since glibc (better to say csh) implemented it. https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man3/glob.3.html search for GLOB_BRACE

Was this vibe coded? Readme has typos and somehow reads "fast and loose".

I thought typos was a signifier for human-created these days, because an LLM is unlikely to land on something that is not a word.

I agree with you. I'll speculate no further.
