Coven’s daemon is configurable through three layers, in priority order:
  1. CLI flags on coven daemon start.
  2. coven.toml under $COVEN_HOME.
  3. Environment variables.
  4. Built-in defaults.

​
coven.toml

[daemon]
home = "~/.coven"
socket = "~/.coven/coven.sock"
log_dir = "~/.coven/logs"

[harnesses.codex]
enabled = true

[harnesses.claude]
enabled = true

[control_plane]
desktop_automation = false

​
Environment variables

VariablePurpose
COVEN_HOMEOverride the state directory.

COVEN_LOG_LEVELerror, warn, info (default), debug, trace.

Reload behaviour

The daemon reads its configuration at start. Restart after changes: 
coven daemon restart
restart rebinds the socket and reloads coven.toml.
