The customization table lists every ZI[...] field without saying which
entry point assigns it, so readers could not tell that the loader sets
some values before zi.zsh runs, or that ZI[HOME_DIR] resolves differently
depending on whether the loader is used.
- Note which fields the loader owns and that the rest are derived by
zi.zsh from those values.
- Record the deliberate ZI[HOME_DIR] divergence: the loader defaults to
the XDG data path while zi.zsh's own fallback for an unset value is
${HOME}/.zi.
- Document ZI[LOADER_HISTORY], the loader-only toggle that suppresses the
HISTFILE, SAVEHIST, and HISTSIZE defaults.
Pairs with the loader changes in z-shell/src.

What this changes
ZI[LOADER_HISTORY].ZDOTDIRis not a Zi application-data root.XDG_ZI_*as derived compatibility outputs rather than configuration inputs.ZPFXexamples from${ZI[HOME_DIR]}while preserving historical recordings.Publication follows the stable Zi core promotion and src installer merge so the wiki does not describe unshipped behavior as current.
Verification
