Storage BackendArea: what it touches
In DevelopmentKind: in v2.1.227,
In DevelopmentSection of the release
An alternative storage-backed read path for remote control config exists, with no code deciding which path runs.
What
Reading the remote control configuration gained an alternative path that goes through a storage backend rather than reading the file directly, classifying the result as text, absent, refused, failed or thrown. Absent maps to an empty config, and failures produce distinct messages that include the backend's error code. Which path a given session takes is not decided anywhere in this build.
