How to customize the default path of apisix.yaml/apisix.json via args or env vars for K8s hot reload?

I am currently deploying APISIX in a Kubernetes environment using Standalone mode, and I mount the configuration files via K8s volumes.
My goal is to enable hot reloading for the configuration. However, it seems this isn't working as expected, and I suspect it might be related to the file path.
Could you please advise on how to change the default path of apisix.yaml or apisix.json? Specifically, is there a way to override this default path using startup arguments or environment variables?
Any guidance or best practices for achieving file hot reload in K8s would be greatly appreciated.

Environment

• APISIX version (run apisix version): apache/apisix:3.16.0
• Operating system (run uname -a):
• OpenResty / Nginx version (run openresty -V or nginx -V):
• etcd version, if relevant (run curl http://127.0.0.1:9090/v1/server_info): file
• APISIX Dashboard version, if relevant:
• Plugin runner version, for issues related to plugin runners:
• LuaRocks version, for installation issues (run luarocks --version):

In the current file-driven standalone mode, APISIX does not provide a startup argument or a general environment variable to override apisix.yaml / apisix.json to an arbitrary path.

The expected rule file paths are:

• /usr/local/apisix/conf/apisix.yaml

For Kubernetes, please mount your ConfigMap/volume to the path APISIX watches, for example /usr/local/apisix/conf/apisix.yaml. If you use YAML mode, the file also needs to end with #END; otherwise APISIX will not load it.

If you have already mounted the file to that path but hot reload still does not work, please provide:

1. the Pod volumeMounts snippet;
2. the output of ls -l /usr/local/apisix/conf/ inside the container;
3. the relevant content of /usr/local/apisix/conf/apisix.yaml, especially whether it ends with #END;
4. APISIX error.log entries related to apisix.yaml, failed to fetch, failed to parse, or reloaded.
