Description

Description of the new feature / enhancement

I want to have arguments to be able to override the default behavior for configuration files.

The settings should be able to specify whether signed files are required.
If there is no GPO requiring signed configuration files, there should be an override argument for users who have specified the requirement for signed configuration files.

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are identified in the issue. Start by locating configuration-file argument handling and the GPO enforcement path, then define how user overrides interact with the signed-file requirement and verify behavior for both GPO-required and non-required configurations.
