+//! Configuration management module
+//!
+//! This module handles loading and managing knowledge base configuration.
+//!
+//! ## Configuration Sources
+//!
+//! Configuration can be loaded from (in order of preference):
+//! 1. **Nickel (.ncl)** - Type-safe, composable configuration (recommended)
+//! 2. **TOML (.toml)** - Human-friendly fallback
+//! 3. **JSON (.json)** - Machine-readable fallback
+//! 4. **Defaults** - Built-in defaults if no config file found
+//!
+//! ## Nickel Pattern
+//!
+//! The Nickel configuration pattern works as follows:
+//! ```text
+//! .ncl file → nickel export --format json → JSON → serde → Rust struct
+//! ```
+//!
+//! This gives us:
+//! - Type safety in config files (Nickel schemas)
+//! - Composition and reuse (Nickel imports)
+//! - Runtime type-safe Rust structs (serde)
+//!
+//! ## Example
+//!
+//! ```no_run
+//! use kogral_core::config::loader;
+//! use std::path::Path;
+//!
+//! // Load from current directory (searches for .kogral/config.{ncl,toml,json})
+//! let config = loader::load_config(None, None)?;
+//!
+//! // Load from specific file
+//! let config = loader::load_config_from_file(Path::new(".kogral/config.toml"))?;
+//!
+//! // Initialize new .kb directory
+//! let config_path = loader::init_kogral_directory(Path::new("."), "toml")?;

+//! # kb-core: KOGRAL Core Library
+//!
+//! Core library for a Logseq-inspired KOGRAL system.
+//!
+//! ## Features
+//!
+//! - **Graph-based storage**: Nodes (notes, decisions, guidelines, patterns)
+//!   and edges (relationships)
+//! - **Multiple backends**: Filesystem (git-friendly, Logseq-compatible),
+//!   `SurrealDB`, in-memory
+//! - **Configuration-driven**: Nickel schemas → JSON → Rust structs
+//! - **Semantic search**: Vector embeddings via rig-core (Claude, `OpenAI`,
+//!   Ollama) or fastembed
+//! - **Template system**: Tera templates for document generation and export
+//! - **Inheritance**: Guideline resolution from shared → local with overrides
+//! - **Logseq compatibility**: Markdown with wikilinks, YAML frontmatter,
+//!   export/import
+//!
+//! ## Architecture
+//!
+//! ```text

+//! Bidirectional synchronization between storage backends
+//!
+//! Provides synchronization between two storage backends (typically filesystem
+//! ↔ `SurrealDB`). Supports multiple sync strategies:
+//! - `sync_to_target()`: One-way sync from source to target
+//! - `sync_from_target()`: One-way sync from target to source
+//! - `sync_bidirectional()`: Two-way sync with conflict resolution
+//!
+//! # Conflict Resolution
+//!
+//! When the same node exists in both storages with different content:
+//! - **`LastWriteWins`**: Use the node with the most recent `modified`
+//!   timestamp
+//! - **`SourceWins`**: Always prefer the source node
+//! - **`TargetWins`**: Always prefer the target node
+//!
+//! # Example
+//!
+//! ```no_run
