Note that .snap is also the default location of snapshots of the Ceph file system (https://github.com/ceph/ceph). It's a hidden (not visible during a directory listing) directory available in each directory of a mounted Ceph file system. See:
https://docs.ceph.com/en/latest/dev/cephfs-snapshots/

So if $HOME lives on a Ceph file system, ~/.snap (associated to snap) will clash with ~/.snap (associated to Ceph). A different location is needed, such as ~/.congif/snap/config for example.
