There is a nonexistent directory /opt/pmk/env/global/bin on my PATH which seems to originate from /etc/paths.d/10-pmk-global . What is this directory? Can it be safely removed from PATH and its /etc/paths.d entry removed too? There is speculation on Apple StackExchange that it was added erroneously by the 26.0.1 update. It'd be nice for Apple to confirm this.

ai spit this out—
[ The file in /etc/paths.d is a configuration file used by macOS's path_helper utility to add the directory /opt/pmk/env/global/bin to your system's PATH environment variable.
The specific path /opt/pmk/env/global/bin and the file that references it (often named 10-pmk-global) are generally associated with internal Apple testing tools or utilities related to the "Tahoe" project (an internal Apple engineering project) that was inadvertently left in some macOS releases. ]
