// settings_cascade.go — v0.2.0
//
// Pure functions for three-tier settings resolution:
//   global (admin) → team → user
//
// Two orthogonal axes:
//   - RBAC controls who can write at each scope
//   - user_overridable (per setting key) controls whether lower scopes
//     can override higher scope values
//
// The kernel enforces the cascade without knowing setting semantics.

// lower scopes (team, user). Defaults to true when the field is absent

//   - globalSettings: admin-set values from packages.package_settings
//   - teamSettings:   team-scoped overrides (nil if no team context)
//   - userSettings:   per-user overrides (nil if no user context)
