reference configuration

Configuration

Lode configuration comes from CLI flags, environment variables, and a few fixed defaults in src/lode/config.py.

Data paths

Value	Source	Description
Data directory	`src/lode/config.py`	Defaults to `~/.local/share/lode/`.
SQLite path	`src/lode/config.py`	Defaults to `lode.sqlite` under the data directory.
Kuzu path	`src/lode/config.py`	Defaults to `lode.kuzu/` under the data directory.

CLI flags

Most commands accept --data-dir from src/lode/cli.py. Search-like commands also accept --repo and --limit, while context accepts --budget, and impact accepts traversal controls such as --depth, --max-nodes, and --direction.
