Configuration

Configuration is where device behavior becomes concrete.

Once a device is connected and running, configuration is what tells it how to behave.

What configuration can include

• Hardware-specific settings
• Runtime behavior options
• Output mappings or similar operating values

Why it matters

Configuration changes can be small or very meaningful. Either way, you want them to be understandable, reviewable, and easy to trace back when something changes in the field.

Good practice

When a change feels risky, start from the last known good version instead of rebuilding everything from memory.
