The Issue

The develop branch seems to be missing key config values in the tracked default config.yaml. Notably I have run into errors due to missing values for

renewable_land_access: reference

unsure why as the values should be inherited from the config.common.yaml

Research direction

Compare the tracked default config.yaml with config.common.yaml, focusing first on renewable_land_access and how shared values are expected to be inherited. Trace the configuration-loading entry point to determine whether the value is omitted from the tracked file or inheritance is failing. Done means the develop branch loads the expected top-level value without the reported missing-config error.
