Description

this plugin expects config to be provided through plugin_settings.py

Since this is a git tracked file, it gets in the way of applying plugin upgrades as it shows as a conflict whenever the file has had changes and could also lead to accidental data-loss while upgrading

Research direction

Compare how configuration is currently loaded from plugin_settings.py with the regular settings.py entry point. Move the custom settings so upgrades no longer require changes to the tracked plugin_settings.py file, and verify that the plugin still receives its configuration without upgrade conflicts.
