Use XDG_CONFIG_HOME for global config path - #2
Merged
Conversation
On macOS, dirs::config_dir() returns ~/Library/Application Support/, but the README documents ~/.config/vecgrep/config.toml and CLI users expect XDG-style paths. This caused the global config file to be silently ignored on macOS. Now respects $XDG_CONFIG_HOME if set, falling back to ~/.config/.
