/**
 * Path Constants from Environment Variables
 *
 * This module provides centralized access to path constants loaded from
 * environment variables via dotenv. It ensures consistent path usage
 * across the application and provides sensible defaults.
 *
 * The .env file is discovered from multiple locations in order of precedence:
 * 1. Current working directory
 * 2. User's home directory
 * 3. User's config directory (~/.config/legal-markdown-js/)
