Ensure configuration parameters are properly structured, accurately documented, and clearly indicate their scope and purpose. Configuration hierarchies should be explicit (global, assistant-level, thread-level), parameter categories should be well-defined (init vs runtime), and documented values must match actual system behavior.

Key practices:

Example structure:

{
  "parameters": {
    "init": {
      "model_path": "/path/to/model",
      "max_memory": "8GB"
    },
    "runtime": {
      "temperature": 0.7,
      "max_tokens": 2048
    }
  }
}

This prevents user confusion and ensures configurations work as documented across different scopes and contexts.
