Centralize global settings in CLI, TUI, and Web UI

The pull request adds one unified global settings experience (`brv settings` plus synchronized TUI and Web UI surfaces) backed by validated, persisted storage loaded at daemon startup, so operators can inspect and update runtime controls from a single control plane.

What is Different

Before

Scattered source updates, isolated context, and manual follow-up across multiple feeds.

Now

Implemented a shared configuration path across interfaces: a persistent global settings store with validation and startup loading, exposed through the new `brv settings` command group and mirrored in TUI/Web UI so users can list, edit, and reset supported keys consistently.

Why Track This

Why It Matters

Operators can now configure runtime limits and behavior from one place instead of hunting through separate CLI, TUI, and Web UI flows, which reduces mismatched settings usage and helps keep long-running local LLM jobs stable. The change adds startup-time validation and explicit restart-required handling to avoid silent invalid-config states, but it should be monitored for workflows that assume immediate hot-reload or need per-project overrides.

What To Watch Next

  • Watch whether brv settings becomes a repeated pattern.
  • Track follow-up changes around Agent Orchestration Platforms.
  • Compare future signals against this evidence trail.
  • Re-check risk flags: restart_required_before_settings_take_effect, global_scope_only_settings.
