Description
Description of the new feature / enhancement
Supporting both in and out of proc for configuration enables maximum flexibility for downstream components.
Proposed technical implementation details
This branch has a lot of the work, but also brings change to the interface to better support both options. It still needs server lifetime fixes and security considerations.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the linked oop-config branch and the interface changes it contains. Identify how both in-process and out-of-process configuration are intended to work, then resolve the remaining server-lifetime and security considerations. Done means the configuration supports both options with those concerns addressed.
