-# ContactCommands.update_contact reads out_path_hash_mode from the contact
-# dict into a local variable, but line 145 uses the function *parameter*
-# path_hash_mode (which defaults to None) instead of the local variable.
-# This causes TypeError when add_contact → update_contact is called without
