Persist background degradation settings as structured data so they can
be reloaded during node startup without double-encoding JSON.
Update settings validation to accept the missing fields used by the
API and align models.dev sync interval bounds with millisecond-based
values.
Also strip omniModel tags when they are wrapped by either literal
escaped newlines or actual newline characters, and adjust the combo
routing test to match the cleaned streamed content.
