Change a setting

Write one configuration key without leaving pi. You need this whenever a setting should differ from its default.

Prerequisites

• The pi-mistral-native package installed

1. See the current state:

   /mistral

   The status card lists every key’s effective value and where it comes from.

2. Write the key:

   /mistral set endpoint.region eu

   The write targets the user scope by default. List keys accept +entry and -entry (see /mistral commands).

3. Verify the change:

   /mistral

   The key shows its new value with user file provenance. The live session picks it up immediately; other running sessions pick it up at their next session start.

A config file beats environment variables

If an environment variable like MISTRAL_REGION is set, the file write wins from now on — files outrank variables per key. The status card shows which layer supplied each value.
