Config mismatch: 'know config set' doesn't affect runtime configuration

[jordanpartridge]

Problem

The know config set embeddings.url command saves to ~/.knowledge/config.json, but the actual EmbeddingService reads from Laravel's config which uses env vars (QDRANT_EMBEDDING_SERVER).

This means:

• know config set embeddings.url http://remote:8001 appears to work
• know config shows the new value
• But know add still uses the default http://localhost:8001 because the JSON config file is never loaded into the Laravel config at runtime

Steps to Reproduce

1. know config set embeddings.url http://10.0.3.199:8001
2. know config shows the new URL
3. know add "Test" --content="test" --category="test"
4. Fails with EmbeddingException because it's still trying localhost:8001

Expected Behavior

The know config set command should either:

1. Set the env var persistently (in a .env file or similar)
2. Or the app should load ~/.knowledge/config.json at boot and merge it into the Laravel config

Current Workaround

Export the env var manually:

export QDRANT_EMBEDDING_SERVER="http://10.0.3.199:8001"

• app/Commands/KnowledgeConfigCommand.php - saves to JSON file
