Description
#129 introduces some checks on trusted WebAuth client app IDs and D-Bus callers.
These should be configurable by distros or the local administrator.
- Formatting and parsing of config file
- Location of config file
- Will we allow merging, or just overriding config file?
- How can we manage the config file across updates? Will we provide defaults? What happens when the user updates the config, and we update a default? Who wins?

Research direction
Start by reading issue #129 and the trusted WebAuth client app ID and D-Bus caller checks it introduces. Define the configuration format and location, then resolve whether settings merge or override and how defaults and updates are handled. Done means the configuration lifecycle and administrator behavior are agreed and documented.
