Research direction

Start by reading the related spring-cloud-config issue 490 and trace how the configuration server currently resolves file-based values. Define the supported {file} syntax, base64 encoding behavior, and validation expectations; done means binary file content is served as the expected base64 value without breaking existing configuration resolution.
