Research direction

The issue names the “Excluded URLs and keys” configuration and proposes a JSON array of pattern-and-keys objects, but it names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the current configuration implementation and determine how the proposed format would be parsed, edited, persisted, and backed up; done means the format works for multiple patterns without breaking existing configuration.
