Description

# ✨ Feature Request

We should have a common application interface for use across ANTS and Contrib to facilitate development of ancillary science and core applications.

## Requirements

The application interface should be consistent with UG-ANTS: in principle it could live in a separate grid-independent package.
See https://github.com/MetOffice/UG-ANTS/issues/57

## Context

Potentially this could replace or tie in a few parts of the existing ANTS code:

- The `AntsArgParser`
- The global `Config` object
- The logging framework

Research direction

Start by reviewing the existing AntsArgParser, global Config object, and logging framework, then compare the intended interface with UG-ANTS issue 57. Clarify whether the common interface should be a separate grid-independent package and how it would replace or connect these components. Done means the interface scope and integration path are agreed for ANTS, Contrib, and ancillary applications.
