Explore static/dynamic config split, hot-reloadable auth via ArcSwap, forwarding policy, multi-transport listeners, and config file format. Documents three problems: no auth hot-reload, no forwarding access control, no structured config beyond CLI flags. Key findings: - Static config (transport, TLS, host key) loaded once at startup - Dynamic config (auth, forwarding, rate limits) reloadable via ArcSwap - ForwardingPolicy with rule-based allow/deny, first-match evaluation - Multi-transport: Server spawns Vec<ListenerConfig> sharing auth config - WebTransport out of scope for now (requires separate auth model) - Proposes ADR-020 (static/dynamic split), ADR-021 (forwarding policy), ADR-022 (multi-transport listeners) Adds OQ-12 through OQ-17 to open-questions.md.
