//! Configuration: TOML file, resolution rules, filter sets, and live-update
//! classification.
//!
//! File resolution (see [`Config::config_path`]): a `config.toml` sitting
//! next to the executable wins ("portable mode"); otherwise the per-user
//! XDG location is used and auto-created on first run. Relative paths
//! *inside* a config resolve against the config file's own directory, so a
//! portable folder can be moved wholesale.
//!
//! The GUI is the only writer of the file at runtime; external edits take
//! effect on next start. After editing, callers run [`diff_actions`] to
//! learn which running services must react (rebuild the index, restart the
//! watcher, repoint search).
