Naming Convention

Throughout the docs, placeholder names follow a pattern:

• Underscores (_) for config keys you type in YAML: base_data_dir, data_dir, poll_interval
• Hyphens (-) for placeholder values you provide: app-id, service-name

This distinguishes “settings you configure” from “values you supply”.
