> Are the hard-coded paths in enlist.cmd somehow misleading, or am I
missing something?

Yes, enlist.cmd is flawed today since it clones the repos from wixtoolset
instead of your fork. This would take some work since it would need to know
your username, and would need to know to create the fork if you haven't
forked it yet.

I recommend you rename your remote from 'origin' to 'upstream' (
https://docs.github.com/en/github/using-git/renaming-a-remote). Then add a
new remote named 'origin' to point to your fork (
https://docs.github.com/en/github/using-git/adding-a-remote).
