Add support for .config/hk.pkl as an alternate configuration file location, following XDG Base Directory specification. This allows users to organize their config files in .config/ subdirectory instead of cluttering the project root.

The search order is:

  1. HK_FILE environment variable (if set) or hk.pkl
  2. .config/hk.pkl (NEW)

hk.pkl in the project root takes precedence over .config/hk.pkl, ensuring backward compatibility.

Changes:

  • Modified src/config.rs to add .config/hk.pkl to search paths
  • Added comprehensive bats tests in test/config_directory.bats

Closes: #405


Note

Adds .config/hk.pkl to config discovery (hk.pkl takes precedence) and disables fallbacks when HK_FILE is set, with bats tests covering behavior.

  • Config resolution (src/config.rs):
    • Add .config/hk.pkl to default search order after hk.pkl, before hk.toml|yaml|yml|json.
    • When HK_FILE is set, use only that path (no fallbacks).
    • Preserve upward directory search and caching; default-init now uses paths[0].
  • Tests (test/config_directory.bats):
    • Verify discovery of .config/hk.pkl.
    • Ensure hk.pkl overrides .config/hk.pkl when both exist.
    • Confirm .config/hk.pkl is used if hk.pkl is absent and from subdirectories.
    • Assert HK_FILE forces custom path and does not fall back to .config/hk.pkl.

Add support for .config/hk.pkl as an alternate configuration file
location, following XDG Base Directory specification. This allows
users to organize their config files in .config/ subdirectory instead
of cluttering the project root.

The search order is:
1. HK_FILE environment variable (if set) or hk.pkl
2. .config/hk.pkl (NEW)
3. hk.toml
4. hk.yaml
5. hk.yml
6. hk.json

hk.pkl in the project root takes precedence over .config/hk.pkl,
ensuring backward compatibility.

Changes:
- Modified src/config.rs to add .config/hk.pkl to search paths
- Added comprehensive bats tests in test/config_directory.bats

Closes: #405
When HK_FILE environment variable is explicitly set to a custom path,
hk should only use that path and not fall back to other config files.
The .config/hk.pkl is an alternate location specifically for the
default hk.pkl file, not a general fallback.

Previous behavior (buggy):
- HK_FILE=custom.pkl would search: custom.pkl, .config/hk.pkl, hk.toml, ...
- This violated the user's explicit configuration choice

Fixed behavior:
- HK_FILE=custom.pkl now searches: custom.pkl only
- No HK_FILE searches: hk.pkl, .config/hk.pkl, hk.toml, hk.yaml, hk.yml, hk.json

Changes:
- Modified config search logic to check HK_FILE presence first
- Added test to verify HK_FILE doesn't fall back to .config/hk.pkl
