Description

  • fix(config): maintain backward compatibility with legacy config path

Fixes a breaking change introduced by XDG implementation where the library uses platform-specific defaults (e.g., ~/Library/Application Support on macOS) instead of the historical ~/.config location used across all platforms.

This ensures existing users' configs at ~/.config/glab-cli/config.yml continue to work while new installations use platform-specific XDG paths.

Relates to #8018 (closed)
