feat: move data directory to hidden .erd-studio folder#47
Merged
Conversation
Renames the default data directory convention from erd-studio/ to .erd-studio/, following the dot-folder convention common for tool config/state directories. - Default semanticDir setting and all hardcoded fallbacks -> .erd-studio - Custom editor keeps a legacy **/erd-studio/*/*.json selector so existing projects still open (users can also pin dbtSemantic.semanticDir to "erd-studio") - FileWatcherService now derives its watch globs from the configured semanticDir instead of hardcoding them - HARNESS_VERSION bumped 14 -> 15; SCHEMA_CONTENT, generators, and regenerated fixture harness files use the new paths - mcp-server SEMANTIC_DIR, fixtures (git mv), tests, docs, and forge-app placeholders updated Package/marketplace identity (erd-studio, liamwynne.erd-studio) and the .claude/skills/erd-studio/ skill path are unchanged.

Summary
Renames the default data-directory convention from
erd-studio/to.erd-studio/, following the dot-folder convention common for tool config/state directories (.github/,.vscode/,.dbt/, etc.).What changed
dbtSemantic.semanticDirsetting default and every hardcoded'erd-studio'fallback insrc/andmcp-server/is now'.erd-studio'**/.erd-studio/*/*.jsonselector added; the legacy**/erd-studio/*/*.jsonselector is kept so existing projects still open without migrationSemanticFileDecorationProviderregex matches botherd-studio/and.erd-studio/pathsFileWatcherServicenow takes the configuredsemanticDirand builds its globs from it, fixing the pre-existing hardcoded-glob wartSCHEMA_CONTENTand all generators updated to.erd-studio/paths;HARNESS_VERSIONbumped14 → 15, so installed harness files will be flagged stale and users prompted to update on next activationgit mv'd to.erd-studio/; generated skill files regenerated at version 15What did NOT change
Package name
erd-studio, marketplace IDliamwynne.erd-studio, repo URLs,erd-studio-mcp, the.claude/skills/erd-studio/skill install path, and all legacydbtSemantic.*identifiers.Backward compatibility
Existing users with an
erd-studio/folder can either rename it to.erd-studio/or set"dbtSemantic.semanticDir": "erd-studio"— the legacy editor selector and decoration regex keep both working.Verification
