Coverage for app_modules/paths.py: 100%

2paths.py

4Purpose: 

5 Centralize project paths used by the Flask application so that modules do not 

6 compute their own base directories. This simplifies maintenance and allows a 

7 single point of change if the layout evolves.

9Exports: 

10 - ROOT_DIR: Absolute path to repository root (where `app.py` resides) 

11 - STATIC_PATH: Absolute path to `static/` 

12 - DB_PATH: Absolute path to the SQLite database file `theialogin.db`
