Node.js doesn't expand ~ like a shell does, so paths like ~/Obsidian_Vaults/... would create a literal directory named "~" instead of expanding to the home directory. This adds an expandTilde() helper using os.homedir() and path.join() to properly resolve home directory paths on all platforms: - macOS: /Users/username - Linux: /home/username - Windows: C:\Users\username Affected config values: - archiveFile, pendingFile, stateFile - birdPath, projectRoot - category folder paths 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The process-bookmarks command was using hardcoded paths like `./bookmarks.md` and `./.state/pending-bookmarks.json` instead of reading the configured `archiveFile` and `pendingFile` paths. This updates the command to: - Read paths from smaug.config.json at setup - Expand ~ to $HOME for tilde paths - Use config paths for reading pending, writing archive, and cleanup 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
