## Key Decisions
- TOML format for human-readable config at `~/.config/fledge/config.toml`
- Scalar keys (`defaults.author`, `defaults.license`, etc.) use `set`/`unset`; list keys (`templates.paths`, `templates.repos`) use `add`/`remove` — mixing the two is a hard error with guidance
- `author_or_git()` falls back to `git config user.name` when no config author is set
- License defaults to "MIT" when unset (explicit `None` still yields "MIT")
- GitHub token lookup order: `FLEDGE_GITHUB_TOKEN` env → `GITHUB_TOKEN` env → `config.github.token` → `gh auth token` CLI fallback
- Tilde expansion in `templates.paths` maps `~/` to the user's home directory
## Files to Read First
- `src/config.rs` — all config structs, load/save/get/set/unset/add/remove logic
- `src/main.rs` — `ConfigAction` enum and `handle_config()` CLI handler
- `specs/config/config.spec.md` — formal API and invariants
## Current Status
- Config CRUD fully implemented (load, save, get, set, unset, add_to_list, remove_from_list)
- CLI subcommands: `config list`, `config get`, `config set`, `config unset`, `config add`, `config remove`
- 40+ unit tests covering all public methods and edge cases
- Spec at v5
## Notes
- `config list` always displays template paths/repos sections (even when empty) for discoverability
- `add_to_list` deduplicates silently; `remove_from_list` returns whether the value was found
