Pull request overview

Adds a CLI feature specification design note proposing to replace the user-facing “workspace” concept with per–kube-context defaults managed via rad configure --defaults, while keeping legacy workspaces: data as read-only compatibility for --workspace.

Changes:

  • Introduces a new feature spec describing UX rationale and command surface (rad configure --defaults, --list-defaults).
  • Defines config schema changes (defaults: keyed by kube context) and a per-key precedence/resolution order with legacy fallback.
  • Documents user stories, edge cases, and functional requirements (including concurrency/atomic-write expectations).
