What does "hardcoded path references" mean on an app's Override sheet?
Short answer: The app loads some of its own parts from a fixed Applications-folder address. After moving, it could load the wrong files, so Storage Studio lists them and asks you to confirm.
Some apps are built to load parts of themselves from a fixed address inside the Applications folder rather than from wherever they're running. After a move the shortcut usually covers this, but such an app could end up loading the wrong files at run time.
Storage Studio found references like this, lists where, and asks you to confirm. If you depend on the app for important work, keep it on your built-in drive.
