feat: Add comprehensive configuration persistence system

- Implemented ConfigService with file-based JSON persistence
  - Atomic file writes using temporary files
  - Configuration validation with detailed error reporting
  - Schema versioning with migration support
  - Singleton pattern for global access

- Added backup management functionality
  - Automatic backup creation before updates
  - Manual backup creation with custom names
  - Backup restoration with pre-restore backup
  - Backup listing and deletion
  - Automatic cleanup of old backups (max 10)

- Updated configuration API endpoints
  - GET /api/config - Retrieve configuration
  - PUT /api/config - Update with automatic backup
  - POST /api/config/validate - Validation without applying
  - GET /api/config/backups - List all backups
  - POST /api/config/backups - Create manual backup
  - POST /api/config/backups/{name}/restore - Restore backup
  - DELETE /api/config/backups/{name} - Delete backup

- Comprehensive test coverage
  - 27 unit tests for ConfigService (all passing)
  - Integration tests for API endpoints
  - Tests for validation, persistence, backups, and error handling

- Updated documentation
  - Added ConfigService documentation to infrastructure.md
  - Marked task as completed in instructions.md

Files changed:
- src/server/services/config_service.py (new)
- src/server/api/config.py (refactored)
- tests/unit/test_config_service.py (new)
- tests/api/test_config_endpoints.py (enhanced)

 ### Configuration API Notes
 
--   The configuration endpoints are exposed under `/api/config` and
+-   Configuration endpoints are exposed under `/api/config`
-    operate primarily on a JSON-serializable `AppConfig` model. They are
+-   Uses file-based persistence with JSON format for human-readable storage
-    designed to be lightweight and avoid performing IO during validation
+-   Automatic backup creation before configuration updates
-    (the `/api/config/validate` endpoint runs in-memory checks only).
+-   Configuration validation with detailed error reporting
--   Persistence of configuration changes is intentionally "best-effort"
+-   Backup management with create, restore, list, and delete operations
-    for now and mirrors fields into the runtime settings object. A
+-   Configuration schema versioning with migration support
-    follow-up task should add durable storage (file or DB) for configs.
+-   Singleton ConfigService manages all persistence operations
+-   Default configuration location: `data/config.json`
+-   Backup directory: `data/config_backups/`
+-   Maximum backups retained: 10 (configurable)
+-   Automatic cleanup of old backups exceeding limit
+
+**Key Endpoints:**
+
+-   `GET /api/config` - Retrieve current configuration
+-   `PUT /api/config` - Update configuration (creates backup)
+-   `POST /api/config/validate` - Validate without applying
+-   `GET /api/config/backups` - List all backups
+-   `POST /api/config/backups` - Create manual backup
+-   `POST /api/config/backups/{name}/restore` - Restore from backup
+-   `DELETE /api/config/backups/{name}` - Delete backup
+
+**Configuration Service Features:**
+
+-   Atomic file writes using temporary files
+-   JSON format with version metadata
+-   Validation before saving
+-   Automatic backup on updates
+-   Migration support for schema changes
+-   Thread-safe singleton pattern
+-   Comprehensive error handling with custom exceptions
