-Bash completion script has its own hardcoded copies (lines 8–9) — keep in sync when changing defaults.
+Both `mkhint` and the bash completion script now source `~/.config/mkhint/config`, so their path constants no longer drift.
+
+An optional sourced config file `~/.config/mkhint/config` (plain bash `KEY="value"`) is read right after the baked-in defaults, overriding any of: `REPO_DIR`, `HINT_DIR`, `PACKAGES_DIR` (default `/repo/`, the built-package repository holding `*.txz` files), `NVCHECKER_CONFIG`, `PHANTOM_DEPS_FILE`, `TMP_DIR`. A missing file leaves the previous defaults in place. Loaded via `MKHINT_CONFIG` / `[[ -f "$MKHINT_CONFIG" ]] && source`; the completion script sources the same file so the two stay in sync.
 
 nvchecker config path is read from `$HOME/.config/nvchecker/nvchecker.toml` (not hardcoded):

 ## Key Behaviors
 
-- `--hintfile` update: backs up to `.bak`, replaces old version string globally via `sed`, re-downloads both URLs to recalculate MD5 checksums. Skips download if value is `UNSUPPORTED` or `UNTESTED`.
+- `--hintfile` update: backs up to `.bak`, replaces old version string globally via `sed`, re-downloads both URLs to recalculate MD5 checksums. Skips download if value is `UNSUPPORTED` or `UNTESTED`. After a successful update it dispatches slackrepo for the single package via `prompt_slackrepo`, which uses `pkg_in_repo` (glob `PACKAGES_DIR/*/<pkg>/<pkg>-*.txz`) to choose `slackrepo update` for a built package or `slackrepo build` for an absent one, both run through `run_slackrepo`.
 - `--new` with existing `.info`: copies `.info` as template, strips `PRGNAM`, `HOMEPAGE`, `MAINTAINER`, `EMAIL`, comments out `REQUIRES`, sets `ARCH="x86_64"`. Keeps `VERSION` from `.info`. If `-V` given, updates version string and recalculates checksums. Also appends an nvchecker `[section]` to the config, auto-detecting github/pypi source or providing a commented stub.
 - `--new` when hint already exists: backs up old, creates empty skeleton.
 - `--hintfile` with no `-V`: queries nvchecker for latest version, shows current vs. latest, prompts to accept/override/decline. After accepting, runs `nvtake` to sync nvchecker's keyfile.
 - `--list` / `-l`: lists hints with `HintVer`/`SBOVer` plus a `DelReq` column (before `Created`) showing `✓` when the hint has a populated `DELREQUIRES` (detected via `grep '^DELREQUIRES="..*"'`, padded with `_pad_glyph` so the multibyte glyph stays aligned). Hints with no `VERSION` are skipped (and excluded from the total). Version columns are 22 wide to fit long version strings. Coloring: rows where the two versions are byte-equal get the whole row yellow (and populate `MATCHED_PKGS` for `-R`); when they differ, `sort -V` picks the newer side and only that version cell is green (version strings are pre-padded to 22 before the color wrap so the escape bytes don't break alignment); an absent/empty `SBOVer` leaves the row plain. Color only on a TTY (or `MKHINT_FORCE_COLOR`); plain when piped. Legend `(yellow row = versions match; green = newer side)` prints when any row matched. With package names (`-l foo bar`), the table is skipped and each named hint is shown side by side with its `.info` via `_show_hint_diff` (shared with `--review`); missing hint → exit 2.
 - `--review` / `-R`: with no package args, iterates only the matched (highlighted) hints. With explicit package names (`-R foo bar`), reviews each named hint regardless of version match (existence required: missing hint → exit 2). For each, shows the hint side-by-side with its `.info` (`git diff --no-index` if git present, else `diff -y`), then prompts `[K]eep / [D]elete / [S]kip` (default Keep). Delete removes the hint and its `.bak` via `_remove_hint`. Prints a deleted/kept summary counting hints actually reviewed. `-l` and `-R` combine: `-lR` shows the table first, then reviews. Bare `-R` with no matches → "nothing to review", exit 0. Per-hint logic lives in `_review_one_hint`; `review_hint_files` drives it from either the named list or `MATCHED_PKGS`.
-- `--check` / `-C`: runs nvchecker for all (or named) hints. With exactly one explicit package it uses `nvchecker -e <pkg>` to skip scanning the whole config; with two+ packages or no args it does one full scan. (`--hintfile` with no `-V` also queries via `nvchecker -e <pkg>`.) reports outdated packages with current → latest versions, prompts per-package to update, applies updates with `nvtake`, then prompts single `slackrepo update` for all updated packages. Hints with no `[pkg]` section in `nvchecker.toml` are collected and, after the scan, a single prompt offers to populate the config via `add_nvchecker_section` (github/pypi autodetect, else stub); on accept it prints a "review and re-run" message and stops the run without applying updates. Packages whose `.info` is not found in `REPO_DIR` are skipped. Upstream versions are normalized via `_normalize_version` (`-` → `_`) before comparing and before storing, so a dashed upstream version like `2026-06-02` matches the packaged `2026_06_02` (SlackBuild versions cannot contain `-`) and updates are written in the underscore form. The same normalization applies to `--hintfile` with no `-V`. `nvtake` still uses nvchecker's own raw keyfile value.

The slackrepo action is chosen per package by `pkg_in_repo` (glob `PACKAGES_DIR/*/<pkg>/<pkg>-*.txz`): a package already built in `PACKAGES_DIR` gets `slackrepo update`, an absent one gets `slackrepo build`. `--check` partitions its updated set into built vs. fresh and prompts `update` then `build` separately (each only if its list is non-empty), both dispatched through the shared `run_slackrepo` helper. Hints with no `[pkg]` section in `nvchecker.toml` are collected and, after the scan, a single prompt offers to populate the config via `add_nvchecker_section` (github/pypi autodetect, else stub); on accept it prints a "review and re-run" message and stops the run without applying updates.

 - `--no-dl` / `-N`: downloads and recalculates checksums as normal, then appends `NODOWNLOAD=yes` after `MD5SUM_x86_64=`. Works with `--hintfile` or `--new`. Error if used alone.
 - `--fix-current` / `-F`: bulk sweep. Loads `PHANTOM_DEPS_FILE`, scans every `.info` in `REPO_DIR`, and for each package whose REQUIRES contains a phantom dep, ensures its hint carries the matching `DELREQUIRES`. No existing hint → create a minimal `DELREQUIRES="..."` file. Existing hint → back up to `.bak` and union the phantom deps into its `DELREQUIRES` line (dedup), leaving all other content untouched. Idempotent: if the deps are already present, the file is left alone and no `.bak` is written. No per-package prompts, safe under `set -e`. Mutually exclusive with `-V`/`-f`/`-n` (exit 1). Empty/missing list → "Nothing to do", exit 0. Helpers: `load_phantom_deps`, `phantom_deps_in_info`, `merge_delrequires`, `fix_current`.
 - `--new` phantom-dep hook: after commenting out REQUIRES, `create_new_hint_file` appends `DELREQUIRES="..."` for any phantom dep found in the `.info` REQUIRES. Same list as `--fix-current`.
