Configuration loading

Directory resolution

User-wide paths are resolved using the directories crate, which handles XDG Base Directory conventions automatically. If XDG environment variables are set, they are respected; otherwise paths fall back to ~/.symposium/.

See the configuration reference for the full resolution table.

Config merging

Both user (~/.symposium/config.toml) and project (.symposium/config.toml) configs are loaded and merged. Project settings override user settings field-by-field within the [agent] section. Plugin sources come from the user config only. Skills and workflows come from the project config only.
