Description
We should be able to change our config file on the fly in the UI. This is a fairly big task if we need to implement a full file browser, but could initially start as loading yaml files from the same directory as the current config (or offer only files in private_configs). We could also allow UI to start without a config file and start the user on the config select screen.

Research direction
Start by locating the UI entry point and the current config-loading path. Compare the proposed options—selecting YAML files beside the current config or from private_configs, and starting without a config—and define which behavior is in scope; done means the UI can select a supported config file or show the config-selection screen when none is supplied.
