Configuration

Configuration is loaded from multiple sources in priority order:

1. CLI flag (--config path/to/config.json)
2. Environment variable (ARDA_CONFIG)
3. Current directory (./arda.config.json)
4. Home directory (~/.arda-dao/config.json)

SDK Usage

import { ConfigLoader } from 'arda-dao/sdk';
import { StrategyRegistry } from 'arda-dao/strategies';

// Load configuration
const config = new ConfigLoader();
await config.load();

// Access validated config
const tradingConfig = config.getValue('trading');
console.log('Strategy:', tradingConfig.strategy);

// List available strategies
const strategies = StrategyRegistry.getAll();
strategies.forEach(s => console.log(s.name, s.description));
