Tenant-specific config (in MongoDB, not env)

These are stored on the Tenant document, not in .env:

adConfig — GAM network code, ad units, KV values, AdSense publisher ID
pixelConfig — Google/Meta pixel IDs, conversion IDs
taboolaConfig — Taboola publisher ID, widget placement
pushAlertConfig — Push notification scripts

See Data Models for the full schema.
