//! Static checks for the proxy sections of `rws.config.toml`, used by
//! `rws --check` and printed at startup. The parser itself is lenient — a
//! typo'd key just leaves a default in place — so this is where a route that
//! points at a missing upstream, an auth secret that isn't set, or a key the
//! parser never reads gets reported.
