Framework:
- Intervals are gone. Update periods are hardcoded on_nth_tick values
again, since nobody has needed to change them.
- apply is a single loop over the declared fields and logs a warning
when an override is invalid. receive_update also warns about
unknown keys.
- Nested tables are addressed as "section.key". Lists of strings can be
overridden. Features.optional declares a value with no default.
- Features.on_apply rebuilds values derived from the config, such as
lookup sets. It also runs during on_load.
exp_roles is assumed to be present:
- AFK Kick picks a role (active_role_id) instead of a custom check
function.
- Chat Auto Reply, Protection, and Nuke Protection no longer take a
permission as a setting.
New features, each chosen for an edge case:
- Discord Alerts: conditional handlers, and a command map that becomes
a list.
- Entity Protection: lists turned into sets at load, and bookkeeping
that must keep running while disabled.
- Nuke Protection: config keyed by defines, flattened to a banned items
list.
- Popups: one config shared by two control files.
- Spawn Area: nested sections, and settings that only apply when the
map is created.
Page: now laid out like the role page. It has a search across every
setting, one long list with a sticky sidebar to jump between sections,
and the enabled switch separated at the front of each header with
Reset to defaults on the right. Changed rows are highlighted, and a
bottom bar offers Revert and Apply. Role settings use a role picker and
lists use a tag select.

Review feedback from Cooldude on the first version.
Features.register is renamed to Features.config, and guard also takes a
feature name so a feature without settings needs no config call.
Autofill uses this. Small configs now live at the top of the file that
uses them: death markers, mine depletion, station auto name, and
lawnmower. AFK kick and chat auto reply keep separate files because
they contain functions.
Periods no longer need a restart. A lib can list intervals, which map a
config key to a handler that runs every config[key] seconds. They are
checked once a second with a stateless tick check. AFK kick and death
markers use this and expose their periods on the page.
Guis: receive_update raises on_feature_changed, and control/features.lua
refreshes every player's gui when it fires. Autofill's toolbar button
checks Features.is_enabled, and hiding the button also hides its left
element. Quick actions refresh on the event too.
Commands: add_flags{ feature = ... } ties a command to a feature, and a
new authority denies it while the feature is disabled. The custom help
and quick actions already leave out denied commands. Lawnmower uses this
and is now added as a lib, so its destroy_decoratives handlers are
actually registered.

Features can now be enabled, disabled, and configured from the web UI
while the game is running, without editing Lua files. The first five
features covered are AFK Kick, Chat Auto Reply, Death Markers, Mine
Depletion, and Station Auto Name.
Lua side: module/features.lua holds each feature's defaults, keeps the
overrides from the controller in storage, and patches them onto the
config table in place. Features.guard skips a feature's handlers while
it is disabled. The five config files move from exp_legacy into
exp_scenario/module/config and their control files now read config at
runtime instead of deciding at load which handlers to register. AFK
Kick times are now in minutes.
Controller side: features.ts lists the editable settings and their
defaults. Overrides that differ from the default are stored in
exp_scenario/features.json and guarded by the existing
exp_scenario.config.view/edit permissions. The instance plugin sends
them over rcon on start, on every change, and again after the
controller restarts.
