Research direction

Start by reading the XDG Base Directory Specification and the referenced adrg/xdg library. The issue names no files, tests, or entry points, so first locate how tiup currently chooses configuration and data directories. Done means tiup offers a defined option that applies the XDG directory rules consistently.
