## Distribution Configurations

When creating release distributions, all configurations are included:

```bash
# Build and package
just distro::build-release
just distro::create-package

# Result includes all configs
distribution/typedialog-0.1.0/
├── config/
│   ├── cli/
│   ├── tui/
│   ├── web/
│   ├── ai/
│   ├── ag/
│   └── prov-gen/
└── ...
```

Users can then choose configs during installation:

```bash
# Extract distribution
tar -xzf typedialog-0.1.0.tar.gz
cd typedialog-0.1.0

# Install
bash installers/install.sh

# Use specific config
typedialog --config ~/.config/typedialog/cli/production.toml form.toml
```

## Best Practices

### Development
- Use `dev` configurations for local development
- Enable debugging and verbose logging
- Use shorter timeouts for faster iteration

### Testing
- Use `default` configurations for testing
- Run integration tests with all environments

### Production
- Always use `production` configurations
- Verify HTTPS is enabled (web backend)
- Set appropriate rate limits
- Configure logging to persistent location
- Test thoroughly in staging first
