What was tested

Global configuration resolution via ConfigService.resolve using a spec-formatted config.toml

Expected behavior (from spec)

docs/specification.md (Configuration > Configuration File Format) illustrates using TOML tables (e.g. [core] followed by automation-profile = "trusted"), stating that table structure maps to dot-separated keys
Resolving core.automation-profile should return the value defined in the table

Actual behavior

ConfigService.resolve('core.automation-profile') returns the built-in default (supervised) instead of the value defined in the [core] table
The project and local scopes likewise miss table-defined values, breaking the 4-tier precedence promised in the specification

Steps to reproduce

Create /tmp/config.toml with:
```
[core]
automation-profile = "trusted"
```

Run the following script inside the repo:

from pathlib import Path
from cleveragents.application.services.config_service import ConfigService

service = ConfigService(
    config_dir=Path('/tmp'),
    config_path=Path('/tmp/config.toml'),
    project_root=None,
)
resolved = service.resolve('core.automation-profile', verbose=True)
print(resolved.value, resolved.source)

Observe the output supervised ConfigLevel.DEFAULT with the resolution chain showing value: None for the global scope entry

Code location

src/cleveragents/application/services/config_service.py (resolve and related TOML loaders)

### What was tested - Global configuration resolution via `ConfigService.resolve` using a spec-formatted `config.toml` ### Expected behavior (from spec) - docs/specification.md (Configuration > Configuration File Format) illustrates using TOML tables (e.g. `[core]` followed by `automation-profile = "trusted"`), stating that table structure maps to dot-separated keys - Resolving `core.automation-profile` should return the value defined in the table ### Actual behavior - `ConfigService.resolve('core.automation-profile')` returns the built-in default (`supervised`) instead of the value defined in the `[core]` table - The project and local scopes likewise miss table-defined values, breaking the 4-tier precedence promised in the specification ### Steps to reproduce 1. Create `/tmp/config.toml` with: ```toml [core] automation-profile = "trusted" ``` 2. Run the following script inside the repo: ```python from pathlib import Path from cleveragents.application.services.config_service import ConfigService service = ConfigService( config_dir=Path('/tmp'), config_path=Path('/tmp/config.toml'), project_root=None, ) resolved = service.resolve('core.automation-profile', verbose=True) print(resolved.value, resolved.source) ``` 3. Observe the output `supervised ConfigLevel.DEFAULT` with the resolution chain showing `value: None` for the global scope entry ### Code location - `src/cleveragents/application/services/config_service.py` (`resolve` and related TOML loaders)
