Method save_config

shared.py:1552–1579

Save the configuration to the shared configuration JSON file. Holds _config_lock so concurrent writers to self.config can't change the dict mid-serialization (would raise "dictionary changed size during iteration"). Serializes a shallow snapshot to keep the lock wind
