Summary

Replace hardcoded $HOME/.config/fish paths with the canonical $__fish_config_dir variable for better portability across machines
Add proper quoting around all path strings to handle edge cases
Introduce a dot_fish local variable to reduce repetition in the user-dots sourcing block
Add set -gx LESS -R under a new "Misc Configuration" section to ensure colors render correctly in the less pager

Manual Verification

Open a new terminal and confirm fish starts without errors
Run echo $__fish_config_dir and confirm it resolves to your fish config directory
Run echo $LESS and confirm it outputs -R
Run man ls (or any man page) and confirm colored output renders correctly in the pager
Confirm ls, lt, and cleanup functions work as expected (CachyOS override block)
If fzf is installed, confirm Ctrl+R history search still works
If a secrets.fish exists in ~/.config/.user-dots/fish/, confirm it is still sourced
If a local.fish exists in ~/.config/.user-dots/fish/, confirm it is still sourced

refactor(config): use \$__fish_config_dir, quote paths, add dot_fish var f70dccdc65

Replace hardcoded \$HOME/.config/fish paths with the canonical
\$__fish_config_dir variable for portability. Add proper quoting around
all path strings. Introduce a dot_fish local variable to reduce
repetition in user-dots sourcing blocks. Add LESS=-R for color support
in the pager.
