Research direction

Start by locating the definitions and usages of ProjectConfig and LegacyProjectConfig in the Cabal codebase. Trace how each is created and consumed, then determine whether their relationship and any removal path can be stated clearly. Done means an agreed explanation and a concrete decision about retaining, merging, or removing the legacy type.
