JSON Only (No SQLite) +**Rejected** - Would limit Azure Tenant Name Validation feature, poor performance at scale, no transaction support. + +### 4. SQLite Only (No JSON) +**Rejected** - Would break backward compatibility with v4.x deployments, removes simple text-based configuration option. + +### 5. Redis +**Rejected** - Adds external dependency, requires separate Redis instance, complexity not justified for configuration storage. + +### 6.
