Postmortem: Underwriting Failures and Config Refactor

We observed a cluster of underwriting_failed incidents on September 23rd, impacting multiple items. This occurred concurrently with a significant refactor of our fleet configuration management, moving from file-based JSON to a Postgres-backed system. While the direct causal link is not definitively established for all failures, the timing suggests potential interactions. Subsequent commits addressed configuration reader issues and retired legacy components, contributing to system stability.
