Shorthand syntax in router config not supported

[UpcraftLP]

Description

As per the router docs, config values can be specified in a shorthand syntax like so:

connectors:
  sources:
    subgraph1.endpoint1:
      # These configurations apply to Connectors with the "endpoint1" source in the "subgraph1" subgraph
      $config:
        my.config.value: true
    subgraph1.endpoint2:
      # These configurations apply to Connectors with the "endpoint2" source in the "subgraph1" subgraph
      $config:
        another.config.value: true # Applies to the "v2" source

This works fine with apollo router, but does not seem to work with rover dev.
Instead, rover only accepts those values if they are specified in long form:

connectors:
  sources:
    subgraph1.endpoint1: # strangely doing shorthand *here* is fine?
      $config:
        my:
          config:
            value: true
    subgraph1.endpoint2:
      $config:
        another:
          config:
            value: true

otherwise they are just empty in the request.

The docs are misleading, that's a good callout. to use my.config.value (which is a single key) you'll need to wrap it in quotes in the connect: "{$config.'my.config.value'}"

Interesting, because it works just fine without the quotes when using apollo router
