Do any of you know anywhere that explains how the path_induction tactic of the HoTT library works?

Well I wouldn't really use the path_induction tactic in practice. All it is doing is calling destruct on a path in the context. First it introduces all the variables it can, then it looks for any variables of the path type, if it has found some it tries induction (which is really just destruct since there is no IH). I think you are better off calling destruct on your path hypotheses yourself.
