CONFIG_FILES
Description: (Env only) List of additional configuration file paths to load in order (such as those in hyperlane-monorepo/rust/config). They will be merged first to last, so if both the first one and the last one specify a specific config path, the value set in the last file listed will be used.
These files must be accessible within the filesystem your agent has access to. If you're running in Docker, see Config files with Docker for tips on mounting your config files into your Docker container.
