├── sandbox/                   # Execution sandboxes (preserved)
├── user-profile.json          # User preferences (preserved)
└── looplia.setting.json       # Provider config (preserved)

Re-initialization

Run init again to update plugins to the latest version:

# Update plugins (will overwrite existing)
looplia init --yes

Your sandboxes, user profile, and provider settings are not overwritten.

Troubleshooting

Permission Denied

If you see permission errors:

# Check directory permissions
ls -la ~/.looplia/

# Fix ownership if needed
sudo chown -R $(whoami) ~/.looplia/

Plugin Load Errors

If plugins fail to load after init:

# Remove and reinitialize
rm -rf ~/.looplia/looplia-core ~/.looplia/looplia-writer
looplia init --yes
