Nothing in the CLI could be remembered from one session to the next except the
language, which lives in env_var.sh with its own ad-hoc parser. Entry [6]
Configuration, below Telemetry, now groups the settings that belong to the
USER rather than to the repository.
todo_prefs.py stores them in ~/.erplibre/todo_prefs.json — the same place and
the same best-effort shape as todo_telemetry.py, since both are per-user and
per-machine, and neither must ever prevent the CLI from starting. A DEFAULTS
table gives every known key its fallback, so a missing or corrupt file simply
reads as defaults.
The two keys added here prepare the QEMU deploy form: which interface to use
(ask / TUI / classic) and what to display while deploying (CLI output or TUI).
They are declared once in _PREF_CHOICES — the screen, the current-value label
and the editor all derive from that single table, so adding a preference is
one entry, not three edits.
Language keeps its own mechanism: it is read before the preferences file
exists and is consumed by shell scripts too.
Verified against a temporary HOME: defaults returned with no file on disk, a
change persisted and reflected in the menu, and reset falling back to
defaults.
