------------------------------------
So this was the other story / ticket that was suggested to me as part of
getting started. I forked the repo and will submit this one via PR.
Definitely interested in understanding community cadence around doing vs.
reviewing. Will update with progress as I move through the requirements of
this ticket.

> Java file path handling does not support user home directory shortcut
> expansion ("~" -> "/Users/alopresto" for example). This is well-documented
> and there are simple fixes [1] for this issue.
> Recently this was discovered in the {{EncryptContent}} processors when
> attempting to use a path to the public or secret keyring files that started
> with the "~" character: i.e. {{~/.gnupg/pubring.gpg}}.
> This should ideally be offered as a utility method (effectively a "filter"
> that can be applied to all user-provided paths throughout the application for
> consistent handling).
