tegwick 6d6f99d5ea docs: mirror Gitea wiki and add config control plane research
Mirror the five Gitea wiki pages into wiki/ (Home, ProductVision,
BrandFrame, ConfigLayering, CompetitiveLandscape) as a verbatim in-repo
copy.

Add research/ digest on configuration layering and the configuration
control plane: the resolution/merge model, the 2024-2026 config-outage
case, adjacent tool families (config-as-data, GitOps drift, feature
flags + AI config, secrets, policy-as-code, CMDB/portals/SSPM), a
reference architecture, and an annotated bibliography of 17 sources.

Deep-research notes backing ConfigAtlas — the configuration control plane for discovering, mapping, explaining, and governing the living configuration surface of fast-moving companies.

This directory is the evidence layer for the product thesis. It is not part of the configuration surface registry (registry/); it is the reasoning and sourcing behind the registry's design choices.

Contents

File What it is
configuration-control-plane.md Main digest: what the configuration control plane is, why it matters, the layering and resolution model, adjacent topics, and where ConfigAtlas fits.
sources.md Annotated bibliography — every cited source with a one-line note on why it matters.

Method

Synthesized 2026-06-26 from the repo's own wiki material plus web research across vendor docs, primary-source engineering writing (Brian Grant / KRM, InfoQ, CUE), and 20242026 outage retrospectives. Sources captured in sources.md; claims tied to live behavior of tools are dated because this category is moving fast.
