Load config eagerly during server startup so sortByUrgency never
hits a nil config. Add nil-guard in BuildUrgencyCoefficients as
belt-and-suspenders defense. Fix OAuth callback to support both
GET and POST, and resolve issuer URLs properly with path.Dir.

Replace cobra.OnInitialize with PersistentPreRun pattern to fix initialization
issues with setup and server commands. This follows Cobra best practices and
allows subcommands to properly override initialization behavior.
Problem:
- OnInitialize runs globally before command parsing
- os.Args check for 'setup' was fragile and broke with flags
- Setup wizard failed on server: 'unable to open database file: no such file
or directory'
Solution:
- Use rootCmd.PersistentPreRun for initialization (inherited by all commands)
- setup and server commands override with their own PersistentPreRun
- Directory overrides still applied correctly in all cases
- Removes fragile os.Args parsing
Benefits:
- Works regardless of flag order
- Follows Cobra's intended design patterns
- Only 3 files modified (root.go, setup.go, server.go)
- Commands that need custom init (setup/server) simply override
- All other commands get automatic initialization
- Cleaner, more maintainable code
Testing:
- ✓ opal setup works without initialization errors
- ✓ opal list initializes database correctly
- ✓ First-run detection still works
- ✓ Directory overrides work with flags in any position
- ✓ Server command handles its own initialization
Separate configuration from data storage and make paths configurable
via environment variables and command-line flags. This improves
Unix/Linux compliance and supports both development and production
deployments.
Key changes:
- Separate config dir (opal.yml) from data dir (database, logs)
- Support XDG Base Directory specification
- Add --config-dir and --data-dir flags
- Environment variables: OPAL_CONFIG_DIR, OPAL_DATA_DIR, OPAL_DB_PATH
- Smart fallback: /etc/opal, /var/lib/opal -> ~/.config/opal, ~/.local/share/opal
- Server mode validates required OAuth/JWT environment variables
- Update naming from 'jade' to 'opal' throughout
- Update systemd service name to 'opal.service'
- Add migration guide in README
Default paths:
- Config: /etc/opal (fallback: ~/.config/opal)
- Data: /var/lib/opal (fallback: ~/.local/share/opal)
