Question
I'm trying to enable MQTT authenticated mode for multiple users, but the docker container fails at startup.
MQTT_CHALLENGE_SECRET = {'foo': 'bar'}
MQTT_CHALLENGE_ROUNDS = 10000
However, it starts regularly when using a single secret.
MQTT_CHALLENGE_SECRET = 'foo'
MQTT_CHALLENGE_ROUNDS = 10000
What's wrong with the first one?
Logs (if required)
Attempting to load configuration from /etc/pai/pai.conf
Error parsing configuration: Invalid value type <class 'dict'> for config argument MQTT_CHALLENGE_SECRET. Allowed are: [<class 'str'>, <class 'NoneType'>]

Research direction
Start by tracing how /etc/pai/pai.conf parses MQTT_CHALLENGE_SECRET and how the MQTT authenticated mode consumes that value during Docker startup. Reproduce the failure with the dictionary configuration and confirm that a multi-user secret mapping is accepted while preserving the existing single-secret behavior.
