Production feeds the config through INVIDIOUS_CONFIG, so a config.yml written at runtime is thrown away on the next restart. The fork's own settings therefore need a home the admin can write to: a key/value table arik_settings, one row per setting. - The environment config is parsed and validated first and seeds every value; a stored row then overrides the value of its own key. A key without a row keeps the environment value. - Applied at boot right after the table integrity check, so Config.check still fails closed on a bad environment config while a bad database row only loses its own override: decoding reports the reason and the environment value stands. - Validation lives in ArikSettings and is pure, so the admin UI can refuse an entry before it is stored. It refuses what hurts later: a CIDR range in trusted_proxies (Config.check exits on it at the next boot), header auth enabled with no trusted proxy at all, and callback origins that are not a bare scheme+host+port. - Two new trusted_header_auth fields are declared here and wired up in the commits that follow: password_self_service and auto_approve_token_callbacks. The table is created both by a migration and by check_integrity, so instances on either path get it. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
