## Simplified Startup Configuration

With [#14249](https://github.com/nushell/nushell/pull/14249), Nushell now always loads its internal `default_env.nu` before the user `env.nu` is loaded, then loads the internal `default_config.nu` before the user's `config.nu` is loaded. This allows for a simpler user-configuration experience. Details are in [this blog entry](https://www.nushell.sh/blog/2024-12-04-configuration_preview.html) along with an updated [Configuration Chapter](https://www.nushell.sh/book/configuration.html) which should go live sometime today.

### Related Startup Config Changes

- [#14345](https://github.com/nushell/nushell/pull/14345): Hooks fields are non-optional
- [#14341](https://github.com/nushell/nushell/pull/14341): Hooks now default to an empty value of the proper type (e.g., `[]` or `{}`) when not otherwise specified. This means that you can always safely append or merge a new hook without first needing to check if it was a valid list/record.
- [#14435](https://github.com/nushell/nushell/pull/14435): An `$env.config` is always created at startup, populated with default values, even when no configuration files are loaded.
- [#14549](https://github.com/nushell/nushell/pull/14549): The `const` version of `NU_LIB_DIRS` is now populated by default instead of `$env.NU_LIB_DIRS`.
- [#14553](https://github.com/nushell/nushell/pull/14553): The `const` version of `NU_PLUGIN_DIRS` is now populated by default instead of `$env.NU_PLUGIN_DIRS`.
- [#14566](https://github.com/nushell/nushell/pull/14566): `ENV_CONVERSIONS` is now an empty record by default. The `PATH`/`Path` conversions are handled internally.
- [#14579](https://github.com/nushell/nushell/pull/14579): More defaults are set in Rust. Also sets a default, empty `TRANSIENT_PROMPT_COMMAND_RIGHT` and `TRANSIENT_PROMPT_MULTILINE_INDICATOR`.

### Breaking Startup Config Changes

There may be (hopefully) minor breaking changes due to the startup configuration handling. Known possible issues include:

- Cannot merge changes to default menus since their definitions are no longer in `config.nu` by default. Instead, the entire menu should be redefined.
- Querying the `$env.NU_LIB_DIRS` will return an empty result by default. Query the constant `$NU_LIB_DIRS` instead.
