# Directory resolution must match the server, which writes the files we read
# (e.g. the local API key in aw-server-rust/config.toml). aw-server-rust uses
# the `dirs` crate and aw-core/aw-server use platformdirs: both honor XDG_*
# on Linux and ignore it on macOS/Windows. Do not add XDG_* handling here
# (see #119); in tests, patch these wrappers instead of setting env vars.
