…g-cloudGH-618) Add a new 'Sharing Configuration Across Applications' section to the client docs explaining how to use a comma-separated list for spring.cloud.config.name to opt individual services into shared configuration files (cassandra.properties, redis.properties, etc.) without polluting application.properties which is loaded by all apps. Document the load order and property override precedence (later names take precedence over earlier names). Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Summary
Closes GH-618
The Config Server documentation only covers the base
application.propertiescase, which is shared with all applications. Users who want to share configuration among a subset of applications (e.g., only services that use Cassandra, Redis, etc.) had no documented approach.The Spring Cloud maintainer already answered the question in the issue thread ("Might be nice to add to the docs") but the answer was never added to the reference documentation.
