serverAppConfigs — knowledge base

One fact, one owner. A page owns exactly one thing and everywhere else links to it with a wikilink. Shape, payload, eras, laws and rollback for an inference endpoint live on its endpoint page; scripts/<service>.env is the authority for every number, and a page that disagrees with it is the bug. Payload swaps are rows in an endpoint page's Eras table, never pages of their own. This index is a locator: one row, one clause, no numbers.
