  // written in THREE ways:
  //   1. a plain string:                  "apiKey": "my-secret"
  //   2. a reference to an env variable:  "apiKey": { "env": "MY_SECRET" }
  //   3. a reference to a secret file:    "apiKey": { "file": "/run/secrets/my-secret" }
  // Env/file forms keep secrets out of this file (recommended for deployments).
  // File paths must be absolute. All forms resolve to the same string.

  // for peers to reach you. `baseUrl` must be reachable from your *arr apps.

    // You hand this SAME value to your peers so they can reach you, and your
    // Radarr/Sonarr use it to query your Torznab indexer (see README).
    // Here it is read from the JACK_API_KEY environment variable.
    // You can also use a secret file, for example:
    //   "apiKey": { "file": "/run/secrets/jack_api_key" }
    "apiKey": { "env": "JACK_API_KEY" }

  // Downloads: jack registers itself in your *arr as a qBittorrent download
  // client, so grabs are handed to jack directly (no watch folder). Finished
  // files are written here for your *arr to import. Path is *inside the container*.

  // Your Radarr/Sonarr servers. apiKey is the *arr API key: exactly 32 hex
  // chars (Settings -> General). Each server can be a:
  //   - "source":      its library is shared with your peers (read via /peer).
  //   - "destination": jack registers itself there as a Torznab indexer +
  //                    qBittorrent download client, and triggers imports.
  //   - both:          share your library AND search your friends', symmetric.
  // "autoregister" controls the indexer/client registration (destinations only):
  //   { "enable": true, "priority": 1 }
  // The qBittorrent client is always registered at *arr's lowest priority so real
  // torrents from your other indexers never get routed to jack (Jack grabs still
  // reach it via the indexer binding, which *arr resolves before priority).
