Add Archon distribution config and directory structure (#101)
* Add Archon distribution config and directory structure

- Create centralized path resolution in src/utils/archon-paths.ts
- Add YAML configuration system (src/config/) with layered loading
- Update Dockerfile and docker-compose for /.archon/ directory
- Add GHCR publish workflow for multi-arch Docker builds
- Create deploy/ directory with end-user docker-compose
- Add /init command to create .archon structure in repos
- Add docs/configuration.md reference guide
- Update README with Quick Start section
- Add bun run validate script
- Update tests for new path defaults (~/.archon/)

Directory structure:
- Local: ~/.archon/{workspaces,worktrees,config.yaml}
- Docker: /.archon/{workspaces,worktrees}
- Repo: .archon/{commands,workflows,config.yaml}

Legacy WORKSPACE_PATH and WORKTREE_BASE env vars still supported.

* Complete Archon distribution config implementation

- Wire up config system in src/index.ts (Task 3.5)
- Remove legacy WORKSPACE_PATH and WORKTREE_BASE support
- Add logConfig() function to config-loader.ts
- Update docker-compose.yml to use ARCHON_DOCKER env var
- Remove legacy env vars from .env.example
- Update all documentation to reference ARCHON_HOME
- Create scripts/validate-setup.sh for setup validation
- Add setup:check script to package.json
- Create docs/getting-started.md guide
- Create docs/archon-architecture.md technical docs
- Update tests to use ARCHON_HOME instead of legacy vars
- Fix validate.md command template for new paths

All plan phases now complete:
- Phase 1: Archon Directory Structure
- Phase 2: Docker Distribution
- Phase 3: YAML Configuration System
- Phase 4: Developer Experience
- Phase 5: Documentation

# Configuration Guide
Archon supports a layered configuration system with sensible defaults, optional YAML config files, and environment variable overrides.
## Directory Structure
### User-Level (~/.archon/)
```
~/.archon/
├── workspaces/ # Cloned repositories
│ └── owner/repo/
├── worktrees/ # Git worktrees for isolation
│ └── repo-name/
│ └── branch-name/
└── config.yaml # Global configuration (optional)
```
### Repository-Level (.archon/)
```
.archon/
├── commands/ # Custom command templates
│ └── plan.md
├── workflows/ # Future: workflow definitions
└── config.yaml # Repo-specific configuration (optional)
```
## Configuration Priority
Settings are loaded in this order (later overrides earlier):
1. **Defaults** - Sensible built-in defaults
2. **Global Config** - `~/.archon/config.yaml`
3. **Repo Config** - `.archon/config.yaml` in repository
4. **Environment Variables** - Always highest priority
## Global Configuration
Create `~/.archon/config.yaml` for user-wide preferences:
```yaml
# Default AI assistant
defaultAssistant: claude # or 'codex'
# Streaming preferences per platform
streaming:
telegram: stream # 'stream' or 'batch'
discord: batch
slack: batch
github: batch
# Custom paths (usually not needed)
paths:
workspaces: ~/.archon/workspaces
worktrees: ~/.archon/worktrees
# Concurrency limits
concurrency:
maxConversations: 10
```
## Repository Configuration
Create `.archon/config.yaml` in any repository for project-specific settings:
```yaml
# AI assistant for this project
assistant: claude
# Commands configuration
commands:
folder: .archon/commands
autoLoad: true
# Worktree settings
worktree:
baseBranch: main
```
## Environment Variables
Environment variables override all other configuration:
| Variable | Description | Default |
| ------------------------------ | -------------------------- | ------------- |
| `ARCHON_HOME` | Base directory for Archon | `~/.archon` |
| `DEFAULT_AI_ASSISTANT` | Default AI assistant | `claude` |
| `TELEGRAM_STREAMING_MODE` | Telegram streaming | `stream` |
| `DISCORD_STREAMING_MODE` | Discord streaming | `batch` |
| `SLACK_STREAMING_MODE` | Slack streaming | `batch` |
| `GITHUB_STREAMING_MODE` | GitHub streaming | `batch` |
| `MAX_CONCURRENT_CONVERSATIONS` | Concurrency limit | `10` |
## Docker Configuration
In Docker containers, paths are automatically set:
```
/.archon/
├── workspaces/
└── worktrees/
```
Environment variables still work and override defaults.
## Command Folder Detection
When cloning or switching repositories, Archon looks for commands in this priority order:
1. `.archon/commands/` - Archon-specific commands
2. `.claude/commands/` - Claude Code standard location
3. `.agents/commands/` - Alternative location
First found folder is used.
## Examples
### Minimal Setup (Using Defaults)
No configuration needed! Archon works out of the box with:
- `~/.archon/` for all managed files
- Claude as default AI assistant
- Platform-appropriate streaming modes
### Custom AI Preference
```yaml
# ~/.archon/config.yaml
defaultAssistant: codex
```
### Project-Specific Settings
```yaml
# .archon/config.yaml in your repo
assistant: claude
commands:
autoLoad: true
```
### Docker with Custom Volume
```bash
docker run -v /my/data:/.archon ghcr.io/dynamous-community/remote-coding-agent
```
