 Migrated `ConfigContent` component from Material UI to Backstage UI (BUI).
-
-Replaced MUI components with their BUI equivalents:
-
-- `Box`, `Paper` → `Box` with `bg` and `p` props
-- `Typography` → `Text` with `as="p"`
-- `Alert` → `Alert` with `status` and `title` props
-- Removed `makeStyles`/`createStyles` in favor of BUI spacing props
