That is, what is it that makes the input dirty?

Pillar generates output files in the same folder as the input file, so it mixes input and output.

I don't know if it is possible to configure build folder.

which seems strange to be taking input files from the output directory.

The answer is in your first question.��

""We copy all input files into the output directory to not make the input dirty."

So naturally it then needs to take the input files from the output directory.
