[Alexander Jung]

Affected Branch

programmability

Basic Diagnostics

• I've pulled the latest changes on the affected branch and the issue is still present.

• The issue is reproducible in docker

Description

The Programmability architecture introduces a different way of configuring the system from the existing architectures (i.e. command line args vs. config files). Unify the configuration systems and consider the broader set of questions raised here: #173, #81
