// Package preinit performs os.Chdir to the executable's directory before any
// other package (including beego) initialises. This prevents beego's config
// init() from printing a spurious "open conf/app.conf: no such file" debug
// message when the binary is launched from a directory other than its own.
//
// Import this package as the very first blank import in main.go:
//
//	_ "github.com/mindoc-org/mindoc/internal/preinit"
