Inventory runtime settings with owners and restart requirements
Operators cannot tell whether changing a timeout requires a worker restart or takes effect on the next request.

The board opens an editable draft; nothing is saved until you confirm it. Sign-in and workspace permissions apply, and Demo boards remain ephemeral.
Project context
A fictional internal reporting platform changes feature and timeout settings through environment edits. Partial rollouts leave API and worker processes interpreting different values.
Setup prerequisites
- Create local API and worker configuration consumers.
- Use fabricated settings without secrets.
Preceding work
No earlier ticket is required. Complete the project setup above.
Acceptance criteria
- List type, owner, default and adoption boundary for each setting.
- Separate secrets from nonsecret runtime configuration.
- Mark unknown behavior as unresolved before rollout.
Implementation constraints
- Use a small fictional inventory of eight settings.
Verification to include
- Trace one dynamic setting through its read boundary.
- Identify a startup-only setting and prevent a dynamic edit.
Deliverables
- Configuration inventory and adoption contract
Rollout and recovery
Review the inventory before exposing edits; keep unresolved settings read-only.
Value of the work
For the engineer: Practice configuration contracts, compatibility and failure recovery.
For the team: Review controlled configuration delivery with inspectable blast radius.
Evidence boundaries
Outcome Evidence: Tests, patches, and runbooks are requested deliverables. They become Outcome Evidence only through a qualified Mission and immutable Evidence IDs.
Ownership Evidence: Independent adaptation must be observed under a declared verification policy and cite immutable Evidence IDs. Completing a planning ticket establishes no Ownership Evidence.
