   One last edge worth recording before this goes in. Low severity, but it is a 
silent transformation on a universal code path, so it should not live only in a 
review thread.
   
   `ConfigUtils` now unescapes any whole value matching `$${...}`. Before this 
change that string had no special meaning and passed through untouched, so a 
table config **already stored** with a literal value such as `$${foo}` will 
quietly lose its leading `$` the first time a post-upgrade controller or server 
reads it.
   
   Realistically nobody has such a value — `$${` was never meaningful in Pinot 
table configs — so I do not think this should hold the PR. But it is a behavior 
change that reaches every `BaseJsonConfig`, not just Kafka `streamConfigs`, and 
it happens on read with no error and no log line. Worth a mention in the 
release notes, and worth a sentence in the docs branch next to the existing 
rollback paragraph, which covers the forward and rollback directions but not 
values that predate the feature.
