server_cdm: true on a remote_services entry now licenses remote runs with the server CDM even when the service has its own cdm entry, which stays the local-run device and the fallback. A services.<TAG>.server_cdm replaces the server value for one service, per-service entries match the tag in any case, and the configured fallback logs at info. BREAKING CHANGE: with server_cdm: true, a per-service cdm entry no longer makes your own device license remote sessions; use dl --cdm or services.<TAG>.server_cdm: false.
