E4012 error

Profile config key missing from the top-level config, or with an incompatible type

area: manifest (x4xxx)
fails the build: yes

A profile's config sets a key that the top-level config does not define, or gives it a value of another type. The top-level config lists every configuration key with its default, and its values decide the type of config in wowlua:meta; profiles may only change those values.

Add the key with its default to the top-level config, or give the profile's value the same type (below, a number instead of a string).

The compiler reports it like this:

error[E4012]: profile `dev`: config key `maxHistory` is a string but the top-level `config` defines a number
