Environment and configuration model

Configuration strategy

Configuration should be immutable per environment and explicit for every dependency: identity endpoints, token sources, timeout windows, and audit selectors.

Drift control

• Track each setting with owner and change reason.
• Detect unexpected defaults through periodic config linting.
• Store templates in version control with pull approval controls.

Deployment artifact model

Ship environment-specific overlays and keep a single source template for defaults, reducing accidental divergence between labs and production.

Immutable configuration pattern

SCIM_PAGE_DEFAULT=100
SCIM_PAGE_MAX=500
SCIM_AUDIT_ENABLED=true

Configuration files must avoid environment-specific drift by using versioned overlays per environment.
