velesdb_memory/
config.rs

1//! The optional TOML configuration file: one place to set every knob.
2//!
3//! Until now the daemon was configured exclusively through eighteen
4//! `VELESDB_MEMORY_*` environment variables. That is workable for a one-shot
5//! shell invocation and painful for a long-lived daemon: a launchd plist or a
6//! systemd unit is the wrong place to keep a model name, and nothing there can
7//! carry a comment explaining *why* a value is what it is.
8//!
9//! This module adds a file without taking anything away. It resolves the
10//! config, then exports each setting into the process environment **only when
11//! that variable is not already set**. Every existing reader keeps reading the
12//! environment exactly as before, and the precedence falls out of that one
13//! rule:
14//!
15//! ```text
16//! command line  >  environment  >  config file  >  built-in default
17//! ```
18//!
19//! So an operator can pin a model in the file and still override it for a
20//! single run with `VELESDB_MEMORY_OLLAMA_MODEL=… velesdb-memory`, which is
21//! the behaviour anyone who has used a dotfile-driven tool expects.
22//!
23//! The file is entirely optional: no file, or a file with only some keys, is
24//! not an error. A file that exists but cannot be parsed **is** an error —
25//! silently ignoring a malformed config is how a daemon ends up quietly
26//! running on defaults the operator believes they overrode.
