 * in the project settings file rather than source code, so operators can
 * adjust them per-project without rebuilding. The resolver falls back to
 * documented defaults when the file is missing or malformed, and logs a
 * console.error explaining why so misconfiguration is visible.
 * #147: switched to the shared `readPiSettings` helper. The helper
 * returns `{ value, error }` so ENOENT is silent and other failures
 * are surfaced for logging.

 *   2. `DEFAULT_RUN_RETENTION_MS` (7 days) when absent or invalid.
 *
 * The value must be a positive integer (ms). Anything else falls back to
 * the default and logs a console.error. Missing files are silent (the
 * common case for any fresh project); other I/O faults and malformed
 * JSON are logged.
