Same-named settings permanently breaks your application

[Jiralite]

Reddit does not handle settings with the same name, regardless of the scope. This leads to your application being permanently broken.

You can achieve this by creating a devvit.json with these settings:

"settings": {
  "subreddit": {
  	"test": {
  		"type": "string"
  	}
  },
},

In the UI for any subreddit, enter a value for that setting and save.

Then, amend your devit.json to this:

"settings": {
	"subreddit": {
		"test": {
			"type": "string"
		}
	},
	"global": {
		"test": {
			"type": "string"
		}
	}
},

Start your application and you'll receive duplicate setting field errors which you cannot resolve. Subreddit settings will no longer load and you can no longer access devvit settings list or devvit settings set. You cannot amend your devvit.json's setting's names to something else and try to deploy a new version.

Your app is permanently broken.

I'd appreciate if a lurking administrator can resolve my settings for u/sky-elder, as it's not fixable by me! Also #239...

heya! I can reproduce the initial issue, and just submitted a fix to the CLI to prevent this a little more upfront, before uploading your app.

That said, I'm not reproducing the "permanently broken" state issue --- when I followed your repro steps, I was still able to update my install's subreddit settings through the broken state, and was able to upload new versions of the app that resolve the issue.

If your app is still stuck in this state, and you're willing to help me co-debug to reproduce that error state and get you out of this state, can you find me on the Devvit discord (bouncepotato) and we can talk through it?
