~/.bin and ~/.local/bin are added to the path by /etc/skel/.profile
which is shipped in the bash package.
It's debatable whether these should be added to the path
unconditionally, or only if they exist. It is convenient to have the
directories automatically available on the path as soon as they are
created, without having to relogin / re-source the shell config;
conversely, it means a couple of extra pointless stats on every exec()
call.
Regardless, though, I don't think it's correct that your certification
suite should throw errors as a result of directories on the PATH not
being present on the filesystem.
