Description

Currently there are two configs defined for routing filters. One for filters in index nodes and one for filters in leaf nodes. However, the code only uses the leaf filter configs, so this should be cleaned up, probably by just killing the notion of index filters and changing the leaf filter configs to just be filter configs.

Research direction

Locate the routing filter configuration definitions and all references to index-node and leaf-node filters. Confirm that only leaf filter configs are used, then consolidate them into one filter configuration and remove obsolete index-filter references; verify the project still builds and its tests pass.
