☑️ Resolves

Clarify and expand the existing delegated administration documentation in the Settings developer chapter.

The changes add structure to the chapter (headings) and examples covering exact app-config keys, Application::APP_ID, anchored regular expressions, preg_quote(), ConfigLexicon constants, multiple app namespaces, and the separate AuthorizedAdminSetting controller authorization mechanism.

The chapter also warns against unanchored and overly broad authorization patterns.

There is room for some further refinement, but that can be addressed in a follow-up. The main focus here was cleaning up the regex example and adding headings.

🖼️ Screenshots

  • I have built the documentation locally and reviewed the output

Also adds more structure to the chapter via previously missing headings.
