 ## Overview
 
 The socket server reuses the HTTP routes defined in `routes.go` but serves them over:
-- **Linux**: A Unix socket at `/tmp/ssui.sock`.
+- **Linux**: A Unix socket at `/tmp/ssui/ssui.sock`.
 - **Windows**: A named pipe at `\\.\pipe\ssui`.
 
 This is similar to how Docker uses `/var/run/docker.sock` for local API access.

 Use `curl` with the `--unix-socket` flag to send HTTP requests to the socket. Example for the `/api/v2/settings` endpoint:
