Research direction

Start by reading config/site.yml and tracing how its global settings are loaded and consumed by courses. The issue does not identify which settings should be overridable or define completion criteria, so the scope and desired behavior need clarification before implementation.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

easy enhancement

Make it possible to override in a course most/some settings that are now global (config/site.yml). See where this makes sense.
