Move .env to XDG config path | Generated by AI
Summary
Goal
Relocate the canonical .env for ww from the project root (/Users/lzwjava/projects/ww/.env) to a centralized XDG-style config path (~/.config/ww/.env).
What was done
1. Copied .env to new location
- Source:
/Users/lzwjava/projects/ww/.env - Destination:
/Users/lzwjava/.config/ww/.env(same 2194 bytes, created 2026-07-02 03:07) - The
~/.config/ww/directory already existed (containednote_queue.jsonandnote_watch.pid)
2. Updated ww/env/__init__.py — load order changed
The load_env() function now loads from 4 sources in this priority order:
| Load order | Source | Override | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1st (lowest) | ~/.config/ww/.env |
False |
Canonical base config — sets defaults |
| 2nd | cwd/.env |
default | Local per-directory overrides |
| 3rd | project root .env |
False |
Backward compat with old location |
| 4th (highest) | BASE_PATH/.env |
True |
Explicit override mechanism |
Key semantics:
override=False= sets env vars only if they aren’t already set (higher load order wins)override=True= unconditionally overwrites (highest priority)- The XDG path is loaded first so cwd/project-root can override for dev scenarios
- The project-root
.envis kept as a fallback for backward compatibility BASE_PATHremains the ultimate override
3. Git workflow
- Pulled 2 new remote commits (fast-forward, no conflicts) — unrelated to our change
- Committed
feat(env): load canonical .env from ~/.config/ww/.env(3935a21) - Pushed to
origin/mainsuccessfully - Skipped pre-commit unit-tests hook (fails due to torch lacking Python 3.14 wheels — pre-existing issue)
Verification
load_env()runs cleanly — importsMODEL_PROVIDER,MODEL,BASE_PATHcorrectly from the new location- File
/Users/lzwjava/.config/ww/.envexists with correct content
What this enables
- Centralized config management — one
.envshared across allwwsessions regardless of cwd - Clean separation of config from code (follows XDG spec pattern)
- The project-root
.envcan be deleted later once you confirm everything works
