Closes #1766

If the $XDG_CONFIG_HOME environment variable is set, we should use it instead of always falling back to $HOME/.config

Summary of Changes

Hello, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request enhances the toolbox configuration handling by adopting the XDG Base Directory Specification. It ensures that the toolbox configuration directory is determined by the $XDG_CONFIG_HOME environment variable when present, providing better adherence to Linux desktop standards and improved user customization for configuration file locations.

Highlights

  • XDG Base Directory Specification Compliance: The toolbox configuration directory now respects the $XDG_CONFIG_HOME environment variable, falling back to $HOME/.config/toolbox if it is not set.

🧠 New Feature in Public Preview: You can now enable Memory to help Gemini Code Assist learn from your team's feedback. This makes future code reviews more consistent and personalized to your project's style. Click here to enable Memory in your admin console.

Changelog
  • profile.d/toolbox.sh
    • Updated the logic to determine the toolbox_config path.

Code Review

This pull request correctly implements support for the $XDG_CONFIG_HOME environment variable for locating the toolbox configuration directory. My review includes a suggestion to refactor the shell command for setting the configuration path to be more idiomatic and robust by using parameter expansion. This improves code clarity and maintainability.
