These seem to be path form an extracted AppImage, so maybe they are not the best to speak on:

see:

https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD/tree ... Path/Tools

That is in some way the official documentation, as it is the official development repository.

You may be using some AppImage that are taylored in different manner, (one of the most usual case is to use a LS3 AppImage, that is slightly different from stock FreeCAD)

https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD/tree ... /Tools/Bit

From the comment you seem to refer to some old configuration as commit comment seems to say that the incorrect JSON file was at least 6 months old, and is fixed in actual version.

A comma needs to be moved from line 11 to line 10. Attempting to read this file with the comma in the wrong place throws an internal Python exception.
This was corrected in the master version some time ago.

I realize many people do not want to use the so-called "Development" versions, but there have been a very large number of corrections and improvements to the Path WB in the 0.20.xxxxx versions.

Our position are not too distant, mine is more generalized and "badly stated", your is more articulated, sorry for the roughness. :)

I agree with many of your considerations, no need to be more OT, maybe in another thread about "advices to make good videos".
Then i just want to say no harm, no foul and it's nice that we found a perspective we both can be happy with.
