The version_consistency test (test_no_stray_hardcoded_memory_dir_paths)
flagged 4 lines where `~/Documents/Last30Days/` appeared without the
canonical "defaults to" phrasing or the ${LAST30DAYS_MEMORY_DIR:-...}
literal form. Tightened the wording in the CONFIGURATION.md table +
footer paragraph, and the README "Where research files are saved"
section, so each path mention is anchored at the env-var override
contract rather than as a bare hardcoded default.
Adds CONFIGURATION.md at repo root - a focused configuration reference
covering save paths, the per-source API-key matrix, reasoning and
web-search backend priority, the trend-monitoring stack (--store +
watchlist.py + briefing.py), and per-client patterns.
Surfaces two things that ship in the engine but were not documented
for users:
- The project-scoped .claude/last30days.env config file (currently only
referenced in hooks/scripts/check-config.sh) which takes precedence
over the global ~/.config/last30days/.env when present. Cleanest
pattern for per-client setups - drop a file in the client folder, cd
in, run normally.
- The existing trend-monitoring scripts (--store flag, watchlist.py,
briefing.py) that the README did not surface for users.
Updates README with a brief "Configuration" section pointing to the new
file, plus a one-line "Going deeper" callout linking a 6-min community
architecture walkthrough on YouTube.
All CLI surface claims (watchlist subcommands, briefing modes, source
dedupe key, env file priority chain) fact-checked against the live
scripts/ source before commit.
