# features/config_hot_reloading.feature Feature: Config Hot Reloading The system should support selective hot reloading of configuration changes Scenario: Hot reloading logging level changes Given the server is running with config file monitoring enabled When I update the logging level to "debug" in the config file Then the logging level should be updated without restart And debug logs should appear in the output Scenario: Hot reloading feature flags Given the server is running with config file monitoring enabled And the v2 API is disabled When I enable the v2 API in the config file Then the v2 API should become available without restart And v2 API requests should succeed Scenario: Hot reloading telemetry sampling settings Given the server is running with config file monitoring enabled And telemetry is enabled When I update the sampler type to "parentbased_traceidratio" in the config file And I set the sampler ratio to "0.5" in the config file Then the telemetry sampling should be updated without restart And the new sampling settings should be applied Scenario: Hot reloading JWT TTL Given the server is running with config file monitoring enabled And JWT TTL is set to 1 hour When I update the JWT TTL to 2 hours in the config file Then the JWT TTL should be updated without restart And new JWT tokens should have the updated expiration Scenario: Attempting to hot reload non-reloadable settings should be ignored Given the server is running with config file monitoring enabled When I update the server port to 9090 in the config file Then the server port should remain unchanged And the server should continue running on the original port And a warning should be logged about ignored configuration change Scenario: Invalid configuration changes should be handled gracefully Given the server is running with config file monitoring enabled When I update the logging level to "invalid_level" in the config file Then the logging level should remain unchanged And an error should be logged about invalid configuration And the server should continue running normally Scenario: Config file monitoring should handle file deletion gracefully Given the server is running with config file monitoring enabled When I delete the config file Then the server should continue running with last known good configuration And a warning should be logged about missing config file Scenario: Config file monitoring should handle file recreation Given the server is running with config file monitoring enabled And I have deleted the config file When I recreate the config file with valid configuration Then the server should reload the configuration And the new configuration should be applied Scenario: Multiple rapid configuration changes should be handled Given the server is running with config file monitoring enabled When I rapidly update the logging level multiple times Then all changes should be processed in order And the final configuration should be applied And no configuration changes should be lost Scenario: Configuration changes should be audited Given the server is running with config file monitoring enabled And audit logging is enabled When I update the logging level to "info" in the config file Then an audit log entry should be created And the audit entry should contain the previous and new values And the audit entry should contain the timestamp of the change
