fix(config): resolve relative and tilde KNOWLEDGE_RAG_DIR at startup - #213
Conversation
Apply .expanduser().resolve() to BASE_DIR so relative paths (./data) and tilde paths (~/rag) produce absolute derived paths. Idempotent for existing absolute paths. Cross-platform safe. Closes #208

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to The change makes relative and tilde Knowledge RAG directories absolute at startup. Runtime risk appears bounded, but test-state leakage and incomplete tilde-path coverage could allow regressions in configuration behavior to go undetected.

- Line 171: Update the tests using importlib.reload(config_module) to add a
fixture that reloads or otherwise restores config_module after each test,
ensuring shared BASE_DIR and derived configuration values cannot leak into later
tests while retaining existing monkeypatch cleanup.

importlib.reload(config_module) corrupts module-global state (the config import replaces sys.stdout and rebuilds embedding profiles), causing 5 unrelated tests to fail. Subprocess isolation avoids all in-process side effects. Probe writes to stderr because the config import chain redirects sys.stdout.

ruff format requires magic trailing comma expansion.
The subprocess approach failed in CI because the config module's init sequence requires a valid KNOWLEDGE_RAG_DIR with config.yaml. Test the expanduser().resolve() behavior directly — same operations config.py:99 applies, zero process state side effects, works on all 9 CI cells.
