The default command search paths don't match where commands actually get written.

CommandLoader::new() and default_search_dirs() look in .cortex/command and ~/.config/Cortex/command (singular, capital C), but the rest of the crate — manager.rs, import.rs, and the importer that writes imported commands — uses .cortex/commands and ~/.config/cortex/commands (plural, lowercase). On Linux those are different directories, so a command imported to the canonical path never shows up when you load the defaults. The doc comment right above the code already says lowercase, so the code was out of step with its own docs too.

This just aligns the two default-dir sites (and the doc comment) with the rest of the crate; nothing else changes.

I haven't built it locally yet, but it's a straight directory-name change.

Fixes #416

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Updates
    • Project-local commands are now discovered in .cortex/commands.
    • Global commands are now discovered in the platform-specific configuration directory under cortex/commands.
    • Commands stored in the previous locations may need to be moved to the updated directories to remain available.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The default command loader and sync search directories now use .cortex/commands for project-local commands and cortex/commands under the config directory for global commands. The loader documentation describes platform-specific config-directory locations.

Command search paths

Update default search directories
src/cortex-commands/src/loader.rs
CommandLoader::new and sync::default_search_dirs now use .cortex/commands and lowercase cortex/commands for project-local and global search paths.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~8 minutes

Change: Bug fix · Severity of issue fixed: Medium


Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to ece73

Default command loading now uses the canonical plural, lowercase directories, so commands in the canonical location are found on case-sensitive filesystems. The loader documentation now notes that the global config directory varies by platform. No merge-blocking risk remains.

Document the global path through dirs::config_dir().

dirs::config_dir() uses platform-specific locations and can honor XDG_CONFIG_HOME on Linux. On macOS and Windows, users who follow ~/.config/cortex/commands will place commands outside the loader’s search path. Document this as dirs::config_dir()/cortex/commands, with ~/.config only as a Linux example. (docs.rs)

The default command loader used `.cortex/command` and `Cortex/command`
(singular, capital-C), but the canonical directories used by manager.rs
and import.rs are `.cortex/commands` and `cortex/commands` (plural,
lowercase). On case-sensitive filesystems, commands imported/written to
the canonical location were never found by the default loader. Align the
defaults (and the doc comment) with the rest of the crate.

Fixes CortexLM#416
The search order listed the global directory as ~/.config/cortex/commands,
but the loader resolves it with dirs::config_dir(), which is ~/.config only
on Linux. On macOS it is ~/Library/Application Support and on Windows it is
%APPDATA%, so anyone following the documentation on those platforms placed
their commands where the loader never looks.

Name the resolved directory and give ~/.config as the Linux example rather
than the rule.
