Previously, _load_recursive() unconditionally sliced len(prefix) characters off every top-level repo entry not in ignore/packages, even when the entry didn't actually start with the configured prefix. With prefix='_' set, an entry named 'bin' would be sliced to 'in' and re-dotted to '~/.in' instead of being linked as '~/bin'. Guard the strip+re-dot behavior behind an actual prefix check; entries that don't start with the configured prefix now pass through unchanged. Fixes jbernard#32, jbernard#53, jbernard#61, jbernard#73
Both positive (correct symlink created) and negative (the old mis-stripped target is not created) assertions for: - an unprefixed entry inside a top-level package - a nested package (declared as 'parent/child')
Replace the defunct Travis CI setup (targeted Python 2.6/2.7/3.2-3.4, travis-ci.org domain is long gone) with a working GitHub Actions workflow running the test suite on the latest stable Python (3.14). - .github/workflows/test.yml: runs pytest on push/PR/workflow_dispatch - .github/dependabot.yml: keep GitHub Actions versions current - requirements-test.txt: formalize pytest as the test dependency - README: swap the dead Travis badge for the new Actions badge

Summary
_load_recursive()unconditionally sliceslen(prefix)characters offevery top-level repo entry not in
ignore/packages, even when theentry doesn't actually start with the configured
prefix. Withprefix = '_'set, an entry namedbingets sliced toinandre-dotted to
~/.ininstead of being linked as~/bin.This has been reported multiple times without a fix landing: #32, #53,
#61, #73. Still present in the latest release (0.6.5).
Guards the strip+re-dot behavior behind an actual
startswith(prefix)check; non-conforming entries now pass through unchanged instead of
being mangled. Behavior for
prefix=''(no prefix convention in use)is unchanged.
Test plan
test_unprefixed_entry_passthrough, reproducing the exactbin->~/.inscenario from Prefix handling is wierd #32with it restored
13 passed, 2 xfailed(the twoxfails arepre-existing and unrelated to this change)
Fixes #32, #53, #61, #73
