Research direction
Start by locating the CLI configuration path handling and identify how the current config-file location is selected. Read the linked XDG Base Directory specification, then verify that XDG_CONFIG_HOME is honored with the documented fallback behavior. Done means the CLI consistently discovers its config file through the XDG_CONFIG_HOME path.
