How to handle a missing target.
- `replace` (default): only act when the target already exists; otherwise skip.
A backup is written next to the target on first apply.
- `create`: create the target (and parent directories) if absent; replace it
otherwise. No backup is written when the target did not exist.
- `init`: like `create` but only on first apply. If the target already exists,
leave it alone, even if its content differs from the source. Use this for
files the application is expected to write back to (config files edited by
in-game overlays, save files, etc.) so user changes persist across mod
re-applies. To push a new template, delete the target and re-run.

Root the relative target path is resolved against.
