`assure_directory_exists("notes.txt", is_file=True)` attempted to create the empty dirname and raised `FileNotFoundError`, despite the current directory already being present.
Interpret an empty parent as `os.curdir` for file inputs. Preserve the helper's return convention, nested parent creation and failures when a parent is an existing regular file.
Use a native scripted filesystem fixture for string and pathlib inputs. Two current-directory cases fail before the fix, while six controls pass. All eight cases pass afterward; utility and typing modules pass on both backends (129 passed, 39 skipped each). Applicable pre-commit checks, including shellcheck, pass.

What changed in this PR
This PR fixes the public assure_directory_exists helper so basename-only file paths use the current directory as their parent.
Changes:
- Fall back to
os.curdirwhen a file path has no directory component. - Add string and
pathlib.Pathtests covering existing parents, nested-parent creation, and regular-file parent errors.

The public helper
assure_directory_exists("notes.txt", is_file=True)raisesFileNotFoundErrorbecause the filename's empty dirname is passed toos.makedirs. Its parent is the current directory, which already exists.Use
os.curdirwhen a file input has no dirname. ReturnFalsefor that existing parent, create no file, and preserve nested-parent creation and errors for an existing regular-file parent.Motivation: while reviewing the public filesystem utilities after path-helper validation, I tried the common basename-only file input described by this helper's
is_fileparameter and reproduced the failure. This supports the user's requested portfolio of tested open-source contributions. There is no claimed production incident, and no internal caller currently uses this exported helper.Validation on Linux / Python 3.12.14 / Git 2.52.0:
