The point of all kind of rules enforced on Harbour intake is to ensure forward compatibility of your application in its binary form with Sailfish OS, including its variants.

The /home/nemo path may change in future versions of Sailfish OS, it may change in Sailfish OS variants, it may also change with sandboxing or multi-user use cases. It was never considered stable and so it should newer be hard-coded anywhere in the code base including dumb data like README files.

The RPM validator also suggests how to deal with it in a situation similar to your case:

As a rule of thumb follow the XDG Base Directory Specification and use $HOME instead of /home/nemo.

If you do not like displaying $HOME to the user, you can do what you already did with your application name and display name, utilizing QDir::homePath().

I would also suggest not to hard-code any part of the path in the translation string - it is not subject to localization and I am sure it is already programmatically available for substitution:

//% "%0 keeps a minimalistic log in %1 for debugging purposes.
