Windows limitation

On Windows, Cogno is built as a GUI application (Windows GUI subsystem). GUI processes cannot write to a parent console, so cogno config show, cogno action list, and other commands that print output produce no visible result when run from a terminal. A solution is in progress.

Launch flags

cogno [--config <path>] [--set key=value ...]

Flag	Description
--config <path>	Load a specific config file instead of the default
--set key=value	Override a config value for this run only (does not write to file)

# Use a project-specific config
cogno --config ~/work/.cogno.config

# Temporarily disable WebGL
cogno --set terminal.webgl=false

# Combine flags
cogno --config ~/work/.cogno.config --set font.size=16
