The current single config is hard to understand because it mixes many variables and data paths with unclear names inherited from the original attack code. Splitting it into multiple pipeline‑specific configs would improve clarity and maintainability, even if it adds some overhead. Alternatively, improving variable naming within one config could be helpful.
