kollabor-config 0.5.8

Configuration management for Kollabor

kollabor-config

kollabor-config is the configuration and path-management package for Kollabor.

It centralizes config loading, global/project path helpers, plugin config schemas, migrations, task settings, and hot reload. Other packages should use this package instead of hardcoding ~/.kollab paths or parsing config files directly.

Current Role

• Load and merge Kollabor configuration from files and environment-compatible sources.
• Manage global and project-scoped data directories.
• Provide plugin config schemas and widget metadata.
• Support config migrations and first-run initialization.
• Provide hot reload callbacks when watchdog is available.
• Expose task/queue/background-task config models.

Architecture

Module	Responsibility
service.py	singleton-style config access, save/reload, file watching
loader.py	lower-level config loading and merge behavior
manager.py	global/project config manager compatibility layer
config_utils.py	config directory, logs, conversations, prompt paths
plugin_schema.py	plugin field/schema/widget definitions
plugin_config_manager.py	plugin config retrieval and persistence
llm_task_config.py	LLM task, queue, and background-task settings
migration.py	config version migration helpers

Usage

from kollabor_config import ConfigService, get_plugin_config_manager

config = ConfigService.get_instance()
model = config.get("kollabor.llm.model", "claude-3-5-sonnet")

plugin_config = get_plugin_config_manager().get_plugin_config("my_plugin")

Known Gaps

• Some application code still reaches directly into home-directory paths; those paths should move toward these helpers over time.
• Config keys are not yet fully described by one typed registry, so stale keys can appear in docs, defaults, or plugin code.
• Hot reload depends on optional watchdog support and callback consumers; code that needs reloads should handle the no-watchdog path.
• Root package and workspace package versions can drift during development; the release process should keep them synchronized when publishing packages.

Roadmap

Phase 1: Key registry

• Create a canonical config key catalog with defaults, types, descriptions, and ownership.
• Generate config UI schemas and docs from the same catalog where possible.
• Add tests that catch missing, renamed, or stale config keys.

Phase 2: Path consolidation

• Replace direct Path.home() / ".kollab" usage in callers with package helpers.
• Clarify project-scoped versus global data locations.
• Add path migration tests for existing user config/data layouts.

Phase 3: Reload and migration hardening

• Make reload callback behavior consistent with and without watchdog.
• Add migration dry-run/reporting utilities.
• Improve validation and recovery around corrupted config files.

Development

Targeted validation examples:

python -m py_compile packages/kollabor-config/src/kollabor_config/*.py
python -m pytest tests/unit/commands/test_all_command_handlers.py -q
