The project configuration file (tix.toml).

Fields

kanban: KanbanSection

Named board configurations ([kanban]). Always ≥1 after load.

issues_dir: PathBuf

Directory holding issue files, relative to the repo root.

milestones_dir: Option<PathBuf>

Directory holding milestone markdown files, relative to the repo root. None → the default docs/milestones.

teams: IndexMap<String, Team>

Named teams ([teams.<label>]), in declaration order.

cycles: IndexMap<String, PlanningCycle>

Named cycles ([cycles.<name>]), in declaration order.

planning: PlanningConfig

Planning presets and the auto-cycle counter ([planning]).

categories: CategoryConfig

[categories]: the global vocabulary and safe default. Omitted when untouched, so a legacy file gains no key on save.

transitions: TransitionConfig

[transitions]: the workflow policy. Omitted when untouched.

triage: Option<TriageConfig>

[triage]: the normal columns that make up the triage inbox.

Mission triage-inbox-review-flow-01M3C600. The inbox is opt-in: None means no section, so no inbox, and every tix triage command refuses by naming the missing section. tix init writes one, with the board columns it needs, so a new repository starts with the inbox on; a legacy tix.toml gains no key on save. See crate::triage::config.

editor: Option<String>

Optional $EDITOR override for full-file editing.

agent: Option<String>

Configured AI agent command (opencode, claude, etc.) launched with the issue body as its specification. Mirrors the editor resolution chain (explicit → $TIX_AGENT → $AGENT env → PATH fallback).

state: StateConfig

Persisted runtime state ([state]). Tolerated on load for legacy files, never written back to disk (issue #52).

export: ExportConfig

External tracker targets ([export]).

keybindings: KeyBindings

Sparse TUI keybinding overrides ([keybindings]).

custom_attributes: CustomAttributes

Top-level frontmatter keys this project uses on purpose ([custom_attributes]).

#1361. tix preserves a frontmatter key it does not recognise and warns about it, because an unrecognised key is usually a typo (titel:) and a typo that round-trips silently is worse than one that is dropped. A project that does use a custom key declares it here once and stops being warned.

Top-level names only, not dotted paths — the thing being declared is a top-level key, and accepting a path syntax here would imply nested declarations are checked, which they are not.

Implementations

impl Config

pub fn starter() -> Config

The configuration a new repository starts with — what tix init writes.

Deliberately not Default: that is the fallback for a missing or partial tix.toml (and the base hundreds of tests build fixtures on), and it stays minimal. The starting point is a product decision: a new repository gets the board starter_board lays out and a working [triage] section, so tix triage list works on a fresh checkout instead of refusing and asking for configuration first.

The three keys match the board: unreviewed work sits in triage, an accept lands in todo, a decline in wontfix. deferred_status is left unset because it defaults to entry_status, and a default that is never written is a default that cannot drift from the meaning it stands for.

pub fn effective_keybindings(&self) -> Result<EffectiveBindings>

Resolve sparse user overrides over the built-in TUI registry.

pub fn custom_attributes(&self) -> Vec<String>

Declared custom top-level frontmatter keys, lowercased for comparison.

Lowercased because YAML keys are case-sensitive but nobody has ever intended Titel and titel to be different keys, and a suppression list that silently fails to match is worse than no list at all.

pub fn milestones_dir(&self) -> &Path

The resolved milestones directory: the configured value, or the contract default docs/milestones when unset.

pub fn default_config(&self) -> &BoardConfiguration

The configuration used by the CLI and other single-config surfaces: the one named default if present, else the first declared.

pub fn configs(&self) -> impl Iterator<Item = (&str, &BoardConfiguration)>

Named configurations in declaration order (tab order = declaration order, D-02).

pub fn load_with_warning(path: &Path, sink: impl FnMut(&str)) -> Result<Config>

Load a tix.toml at path, emitting a warning through sink for every cleartext token read from the file.

Parse and validation failures surface as TixError::Config with the file’s path and (where the TOML parser reports it) line.

pub fn load(project_root: &Path) -> Result<Config>

Load the config for a project root: tix.toml at the root if present, otherwise the defaults. An absent file is not an error — the CLI layer decides whether to nag about tix init.

pub fn project_root(cwd: &Path) -> Option<PathBuf>

Find the project root for cwd by walking upward for a tix.toml. Returns None when no ancestor (including cwd itself) holds one.

pub fn save(&self, path: &Path) -> Result<()>

Write tix.toml atomically (temp file + rename in the same directory, with an fsync before the rename — NFR-006).

Tokens are never written to disk, so a round-trip load → save drops any cleartext token (expected: prefer env vars).
