+- **CLI socket lookup as the daemon user.** `sudo -u quptime qu …`
+  no longer fails with `dial daemon socket /tmp/quptime-quptime/…:
+  no such file or directory` while the system daemon is running.
+  `config.SocketPath()` now probes the canonical systemd location
+  (`/run/quptime/quptime.sock`, then `/var/run/quptime/quptime.sock`)
+  regardless of euid before falling back to per-user paths, so the
+  CLI reaches the daemon's socket even when `sudo` has stripped
+  `RUNTIME_DIRECTORY` and `XDG_RUNTIME_DIR` from the environment.
