feat(config): add XDG file layers

[jdx]

Summary

• add FileLayer::xdg(XdgBase, path) for explicit XDG config, data, state, cache, and runtime locations
• honor each base's defaults, absolute-path rules, and precedence without adding dependencies
• include system search directories for config and data while keeping state, cache, and runtime user-scoped
• add #[usage(file(path = "…", xdg = "config"))] derive metadata, with all five XDG bases supported
• document pairing the derive declaration with the runtime layer

Testing

• cargo test --all --all-features
• cargo clippy --all --all-features -- -D warnings
• cargo fmt --all -- --check
• prettier -c docs/rust/configuration.md

Note

Medium Risk
Touches config discovery and FileScope/trust assignment (system vs global) plus path-escape checks. Incorrect precedence or scope would change which files win and how trusted they are.

Overview
Adds XDG file layers so a relative path can be resolved under config, data, state, cache, or runtime bases without extra dependencies.

FileLayer::xdg reads process env (absolute values only), applies spec fallbacks, and for config/data includes system dirs with user last. Each path now carries its own FileScope (System vs Global). Relative/escaping paths are rejected.

The Config derive accepts file(..., xdg = "config") (not combined with findup/scope) and expands it in the emitted spec to $XDG_*_DIRS / $XDG_*_HOME entries. Docs show pairing the attribute with the runtime layer.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR adds named XDG bases for config, data, state, cache, and runtime files. Derive declarations validate each base and generate matching file specifications. Runtime layers resolve paths, scopes, fallbacks, and origins. Tests and documentation cover the new behavior.

Changes

XDG configuration support

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Named XDG declarations and spec generation derive/src/config.rs, conformance/tests/derive_config.rs	The derive layer requires a named XDG base, validates unsupported combinations and bases, and generates base-specific system and global specifications. Conformance tests verify expanded config paths and scopes.
Base-specific path resolution and loading config/src/files.rs, config/src/lib.rs	FileLayer::xdg accepts XdgBase. It resolves environment variables, fallbacks, precedence, path validation, per-path scopes, and origin metadata for each base. XdgBase is publicly re-exported.
XDG usage documentation docs/rust/configuration.md	The documentation and examples use named XDG bases and describe the supported locations and config precedence.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 01fea

This change adds XDG-based configuration file discovery and associated derive metadata; no actionable merge-blocking risk remains at the current head.

Poem

I’m a rabbit, hopping through XDG space,
Config and cache each find their place.
Named bases guide the trail,
Scopes follow every file without fail.
Hop, hop—the paths now align!

Shadow comparison

Parsing mise use -g node@20 against a shadow of mise's committed spec.
Reported, not gated: the shadow grows as the derive learns to express more, so
what to watch is the ratio rather than either column.
