//! A JSON Schema for a CLI's config file, from its `config` block.
//!
//! Every CLI in the fleet hand-writes one of these — mise generates `schema/mise.json` from
//! its own registry with a TypeScript script. Generating it from the spec means the schema,
//! the documentation and the resolver cannot disagree about what a setting is.
//!
//! Draft 2020-12, with `unevaluatedProperties: false` on every object so an unknown key in
//! a config file is reported by an editor rather than ignored.
