Description

Hi,

Great software. Super handy.

If I could just drop a suggestion in the suggestion bin, it would be to please begin supporting the [XDG Base Directory spec](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/XDG_Base_Directory_support) rather than using `~/.torus` indiscriminantly.

To my knowledge, there is not a way to change this using environment variables, is there?

Thanks for considering.

Research direction

No files or tests are named. Start by locating where torus chooses ~/.torus and how configuration paths are handled, then read the linked XDG Base Directory specification. Done means the CLI respects the relevant XDG directory settings instead of unconditionally using ~/.torus.
