Description

Configuration of PSSA2 should be easier.

In particular:

  • Misconfigurations should present a useful error to users about expectation vs what was given
  • Configuration should take a list of rule configurations and implicitly turn them into a dictionary, rather than require null dictionary entries
  • Perhaps add more here

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Begin by locating PSSA2's configuration handling; done means useful expectation-versus-input errors and accepting rule configurations as a list without null dictionary entries, while the broader "perhaps add more" request remains to be scoped.
