Description
I would like to be able to use the same templates path on both mac and linux. Is this possible? It appears that they're different:
mac - $HOME/Library/Application Support/io.datasette.llm/templates/
linux - $HOME/.config/io.datasette.llm/templates/
I noticed LLM_USER_PATH but this appears to change the entire base directory.
The reason for the ask is that I'd like to be able to store my commonly used prompts in my dot files repo (which works on both mac and linux).
Any thoughts/recommendations?

Research direction
Start by tracing how the macOS and Linux template paths are derived and how the existing LLM_USER_PATH setting is applied. Define what a separate, cross-platform templates-path option should control and how completion would be verified without changing the rest of the base directory.
