I refactored my last change to use the pydantic settings. But different plugins have different settings and I found myself importing from platformics in a workflow plugin. This felt wrong to me and not just because of plugins. I think we will end up with all sorts of settings specific to one service or the other. I think the most elegant way to solve this is with a common settings object that is extended in each service. Which is what I have done here. I also moved settings out of api in platformics because I felt it was confusing to have it under api if it also contains CLI settings. Also the parse_obj method is deprecated so I updated to model_validate as recommended by pydantic.
