Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue with a fresh Qwen Code CLI instance and the global ~/.qwen/QWEN.md and ~/.qwen/settings.json files present. Trace where the CLI loads global directives and settings during startup. Done means both files are read automatically for every new instance, with a regression test if the project has an appropriate test location.
