Subject: [PATCH] fix(providers): make cline config path cross-platform
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Replace hardcoded Library/Application Support (macOS-only) with
io.UserConfigDir(), which resolves to the correct OS-specific base:
  macOS   → ~/Library/Application Support
  Linux   → ~/.config (XDG)
  Windows → %APPDATA%

Add a test asserting the default path is rooted at UserConfigDir().
Update docs to document the OS-specific resolved paths.
