# 0002 — Use JSON for config exports

## Context

Config snapshots must be exportable for support tickets; a machine-readable format was needed.

## Decision

Config exports are serialized as JSON.

## Consequences

Easy to parse anywhere; comments impossible, which support staff dislike.

## Alternatives rejected

YAML rejected at the time over parser inconsistencies.
