chimera.config

chimera.config loads and validates user / project configuration. The core abstraction is the discriminated union — every type field selects which subclass to deserialise into.

Top-level exports

from chimera.config import (
    DiscriminatedUnion,
    ChimeraConfig,
    ProjectConfig,
)

Symbol	Module	Purpose
`DiscriminatedUnion`	`chimera.config.union`	Base class. `from_config(d)` dispatches on a `type` field; `to_config()` round-trips back to a dict.
`ChimeraConfig`	`chimera.config.config_file`	YAML / JSON config-file loader.
`ProjectConfig`	`chimera.config.loader`	Project-config discovery (walks up from cwd looking for `chimera.toml` / `.chimera/config.yml`).

The chimera.config.skills and chimera.config.structured submodules hold smaller helpers used by the loader; their exports are stable but rarely imported directly.
