Summary: Ref T13249. See <https://discourse.phabricator-community.org/t/configuring-the-number-of-taskmaster-daemons/2394/>. Today, when a configuration value is "locked", we prevent //writes// to the database. However, we still perform reads. When you upgrade, we generally don't want a bunch of your configuration to change by surprise. Some day, I'd like to stop reading locked configuration from the database. This would defuse an escalation where an attacker finds a way to write to locked configuration despite safeguards, e.g. through SQL injection or policy bypass. Today, they could write to `cluster.mailers` or similar and substantially escalate access. A better behavior would be to ignore database values for `cluster.mailers` and other locked config, so that these impermissible writes have no effect. Doing this today would break a lot of installs, but we can warn them about it now and then make the change at a later date. Test Plan: - Forced a `phd.taskmasters` config value into the database. - Saw setup warning. - Used `bin/config delete --database phd.taskmasters` to clear the warning. - Reviewed documentation changes. - Reviewed `phd.taskmasters` documentation adjustment.
