Pujit Mehrotra fee7d4613e refactor: add & use ConfigFilePersister primitive (#1534)
Add `ConfigFilePersister<T>` to provide automatic JSON file persistence
for configs. It bridges the gap between in-memory configuration (via
`ConfigService`) and persistent file storage, with minimal developer
effort.

## Key Features

- **Reactive Persistence**: Automatically saves config changes to disk
when `ConfigService` updates
- **NestJS Integration**: Implements lifecycle hooks for proper
initialization and cleanup
- **Standalone Operations**: Provides direct file access via
`getFileHandler()` for non-reactive use cases
- **Change Detection**: Only writes to disk when configuration actually
changes (performance optimization)
- **Error Handling**: Includes logging and graceful error handling
throughout

## How to Implement

Extend the class and implement these required methods:

```typescript
@Injectable()
class MyConfigPersister extends ConfigFilePersister<MyConfigType> {
  constructor(configService: ConfigService) {
    super(configService);
  }

  // Required: JSON filename in config directory
  fileName(): string { 
    return "my-config.json"; 
  }

  // Required: ConfigService key for reactive updates
  configKey(): string { 
    return "myConfig"; 
  }

  // Required: Default values for new installations
  defaultConfig(): MyConfigType {
    return { enabled: false, timeout: 5000 };
  }

  // optionally, override validate() and/or migrateConfig()
}
```

## Lifecycle Behavior

- **Initialization** (`onModuleInit`): Loads config from disk → sets in
ConfigService → starts reactive subscription
- **Runtime**: Automatically persists to disk when ConfigService changes
(buffered every 25ms)
- **Shutdown** (`onModuleDestroy`): Final persistence and cleanup

## Summary by CodeRabbit

* **New Features**
* Introduced a unified, robust configuration file management system with
automatic migration, validation, and efficient persistence for plugins
and services.

* **Refactor**
* Centralized configuration persistence logic into a shared base class,
simplifying and standardizing config handling.
* Refactored multiple config persisters to extend the new base class,
removing redundant manual file and lifecycle management.
* Removed legacy config state management, persistence helpers, and
related modules, streamlining the codebase.
* Simplified test suites to focus on core functionality and error
handling.

* **Chores**
* Updated dependencies to support the new configuration management
system.
* Integrated the new API config module into plugin modules for
consistent configuration handling.
