Template Skeleton Copier

Ensure every directory from a template tree, including empty ones, exists under a target root without deleting any existing sibling content.

Capabilities

Preserve siblings while copying empty directories

• Given a template with empty data/cache and a target already containing data/uploads/file.txt, running the copier creates data/cache under the target while leaving data/uploads/file.txt untouched. @test
• When the template includes nested empty directories such as configs/env/dev, the copier ensures the full path exists in the target even if intermediate directories are missing. @test
• Running the copier multiple times is idempotent: previously created directories remain, and no existing siblings are deleted. @test
