+# MusicLib System Configuration
+# System-wide defaults — do not edit this file directly.
+# To override settings, add them to: ~/.config/musiclib/musiclib.conf
+#
+# This configuration follows the XDG Base Directory Specification:
+# - Configuration files: ~/.config/musiclib/
+# - Application data:    ~/.local/share/musiclib/
+#
+# IMPORTANT: This file is read both by bash (source) and by the Qt GUI's
+# ConfWriter parser.  ConfWriter only understands simple KEY="value" lines.
+# Do NOT use bash conditionals (if/elif/fi), command substitution ($(...)),
+# or default-value syntax (${VAR:-default}) — the GUI cannot evaluate them.
+#
+# Shell variable references like $MUSICLIB_DATA_DIR are fine — the GUI's
+# variable resolver handles those via a layered lookup table.
