`./.dsh-tmp-profile/config.json` was the web config-tree boot's user-config
plane, but never gained a writer: no production code created or edited it, no
test exercised it, and no user documentation named it. The fields it mapped
have owners elsewhere — provider/model are the api-gateway's default route and
persistenceRoot is an assembly fact, while typed user preferences live in
$DSH_HOME/settings.yaml.
Delete PROFILE_DIR, PROFILE_FILE, ProfileMapping, PROFILE_MAPPINGS, and
readProfile() with the patch source that consumed them. AppCLIEntry now
composes patches from CLI flags and the resolved frontend distIndex only; the
surrounding layers are unchanged. A file on disk is ignored completely — no
migration, replacement format, or deprecation diagnostic, per the pre-release
stance.
