Bug Description

npx create-video@latest (v4.0.436) inserts a Unicode control character U+0015 (NAK / ^U) into the output directory path, causing the project to be created in a phantom directory instead of the intended location.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Run npx create-video@latest
2. Choose "Hello World" template
3. Enter Downloads/my-video as the directory
4. Complete the setup (No TailwindCSS, Yes agent skills)

Expected Behavior

Project is created at ~/Downloads/my-video.

Actual Behavior

Project is created at ~/<NAK>Downloads/my-video — a directory whose name starts with the invisible ASCII control character U+0015 (NAK). The CLI output also shows this character, visible only as an extra space:

Copied to  Downloads/my-video.

The leading space before "Downloads" is actually the ^U control character. This makes cd Downloads/my-video fail because the real Downloads directory doesn't contain the project.

Confirmed by inspecting the home directory with find ~ -maxdepth 1 -name "*Downloads" | cat -v:

/Users/username/^UDownloads
/Users/username/Downloads

Environment

• OS: macOS (Darwin 25.3.0)
• Shell: fish
• create-video version: 4.0.436
• Node version: $(node -v)
• npm version: $(npm -v)
