Add settings validation with Warning and Error severity levels.
Warnings print to stderr without preventing startup; errors are
aggregated and prevent startup. Percentage validation accepts 1..=100
rather than silently clamping. Add UCI-compatible flexible boolean
parsing through Serde, accepting 1/true/yes/y/on/enabled for true and
0/false/no/n/off/disabled for false, while native booleans continue to
deserialize correctly.
Add uci-derive proc-macro crate with UciConfig and UciSection derive
macros that generate UCI schema metadata from Settings structs. The
schema maps UCI section types and option names to config-rs field
paths. UciSource::from_schema() creates a source from the derived
schema, mapping known UCI options to their Settings fields while
preserving unknown options under raw UCI-derived paths.
Add CSV-based reflector list parsing with Serde reflector records.
The load_reflectors method reads a CSV file with reflector_ip,
ip_version, and description columns, validating IP version
consistency for each entry.
Introduce the UciSource abstraction as a config-rs Source that reads
UCI packages and maps them into the configuration tree. Supports
package selection, required/optional behavior, and custom config/save
directories. Move rust-uci dependency to cfg(unix) to enable UCI
support on all Unix systems for development and testing, while
Linux/OpenWrt remains the production-supported platform.
Introduce config-rs and Serde support with a nested Settings model.
Add config and serde dependencies with toml feature for file-based
configuration loading. The Settings struct provides typed configuration
with sensible defaults for network, output, observability, and advanced
settings sections. Environment variable override via SQMA__ prefix is
supported. The legacy Config remains in use; migration follows later.
