Description
## Problem
Frontend in SWA 108dev fails with CORS when calling APIM configuration endpoint.
## Evidence
- Browser console error:
- Access to XMLHttpRequest at https://tutor-108dev-apim.azure-api.net/api/configuration/themes
- Origin: https://nice-flower-0be65ed0f.1.azurestaticapps.net
- Message: No Access-Control-Allow-Origin header is present on preflight response.
- Live APIM policy for configuration-api currently includes only localhost origins:
- http://localhost:3000
- http://localhost:5173
- Missing: https://nice-flower-0be65ed0f.1.azurestaticapps.net
## Reproduction
1. Open https://nice-flower-0be65ed0f.1.azurestaticapps.net
2. Go to Configuration screen.
3. Observe request to /api/configuration/themes failing with CORS preflight error.
## Impact
- User impact: Critical in dev environment (frontend cannot read configuration data).
- Blast radius: Cross-service API access through APIM for browser clients.
## Acceptance Criteria
- [ ] APIM policy for all service-edge APIs includes current SWA origin for active environment.
- [ ] OPTIONS preflight to /api/configuration/themes returns Access-Control-Allow-Origin for SWA origin.
- [ ] Frontend Configuration page loads without CORS errors.
- [ ] A workflow-based remediation path exists (no manual portal edits required).
- [ ] Add automated validation to fail CI if required SWA origin is missing from APIM CORS policy.
