After updating a configuration file, the Backstage backend fails to start with the error: 'Config validation failed: app.baseUrl must be a valid URL'. The team has verified that the baseUrl value in app-config.yaml is correct. What is the most likely cause?

An environment variable override in the deployment environment is providing an invalid URL for the same key.

The YAML file has a syntax error that prevents the baseUrl from being parsed correctly.

The configuration file is not being loaded because the --config flag is missing.

The baseUrl key is misspelled in the configuration file.
