Research direction

Start with iohub_config.yaml and its eyetracker runtime_settings section, then reproduce Confero's failure when the setting is absent. Trace how this configuration is consumed and clarify the intended behavior with maintainers, since the issue does not specify the fix. Done means Confero no longer depends on this manual configuration hack.
