Summary
This PR unifies the error type returned by the Settings loading paths so callers get a consistent error type regardless of how settings are loaded.
What changed
Why
Previously Settings::from_file returned config::ConfigError while FromStr::from_str returned anyhow::Error. That inconsistency required callers to handle different error types depending on the loading path. The change makes both paths return the same error type (anyhow::Error), simplifying the API and improving diagnostic messages.
Files changed (high level)
Validation
Compatibility
This is a breaking API change for callers that previously matched on config::ConfigError from Settings::from_file. Callers should now handle anyhow::Error (or use Result<T, anyhow::Error>). The change was made intentionally to provide a consistent and more informative error experience.
