+has no match, check its parent, then its parent's parent, and so on —
+stopping at the first directory containing a `.git` entry (that directory
+is still searched before stopping) or the filesystem root. Never wanders
+past a repo boundary into an unrelated enclosing directory. `loadLayered`
+passes its own `walkUp` through to both the dedicated-file and
+fallback-file lookups. Built on `@theholocron/fs-utils`'s generic
+`findUpward`/`hasGitEntry` — not reimplemented here.
+
+### `loadConfigFromContent<T>({ dir, content, name, extension })`
+
+Loads config from content that didn't come from a file already on disk —
+writes it to `<dir>/<name>.config.<extension>` first, then loads it through
+the exact same internals `loadConfigFile` uses for a file it discovered
+itself. `dir` matters: it's what upward `node_modules` resolution sees, so
+content that does `import { defineConfig } from "@theholocron/cli"` only
+resolves if `dir` sits under a tree where that package is a real
+dependency. Callers own creating and cleaning up `dir`. Returns
+`{ config, filepath }`; throws `ConfigFileError` the same way
+`loadConfigFile` does on a parse/load failure.
+
+Built for `@theholocron/sentinel`'s `validateConfig()` — it fetches a
+repo's `holocron.config.*` from GitHub's API, not a local checkout, but
+still needs the fetched content to execute as a real module.
