Please address the comments from this code review:

## Overall Comments
- In `settingsManager.settingsToConfigMap`, `settings` is dereferenced before checking for nil (`settings.GetClusterConfig()` etc. then `if settings == nil || ...`), which can panic; check `settings` for nil before any method calls.
- The new generic `configmapPersister` still logs admission-controller-specific messages (`"Could not apply admission controller config map"`); consider using `p.name` in the log text so it is accurate for all callers.
- In `filesystem.settingsToConfigMap`, the error log message says `failed to unmarshal fact settings` even though it is marshaling; update the message (and consider removing the unused `configMapPathsKey` constant if it is not needed).

**issue (bug_risk):** Guard against nil `settings` before dereferencing it in `settingsToConfigMap`.

`settingsToConfigMap` dereferences `settings` (via `GetClusterConfig()` etc.) before checking for nil, which can panic if `pushSettings` (or any future caller) passes `nil`. Add a nil guard at the top of the function before any method calls on `settings`, e.g.:

```go
func (p *settingsManager) settingsToConfigMap(settings *sensor.AdmissionControlSettings) (*v1.ConfigMap, error) {
    if settings == nil {
        return nil, nil
    }

    clusterConfig := settings.GetClusterConfig()
    enforcedDeployTimePolicies := settings.GetEnforcedDeployTimePolicies()
    runtimePolicies := settings.GetRuntimePolicies()
    if clusterConfig == nil || enforcedDeployTimePolicies == nil || runtimePolicies == nil {
        return nil, nil
    }
    // ...
}
```

**suggestion (bug_risk):** Avoid adding empty path prefixes when policy file paths start with glob characters.

In `extractFileActivityPaths`, when the first glob is at index 0 (e.g., `"*.conf"`, `"**/foo"`), `value[:idx]` is `""` and gets added to `paths`. That empty string is not a valid path and will leak into FactSettings/config.

Consider skipping empty prefixes or falling back to the full value when the prefix is empty, for example:

```go
if idx < 0 {
    paths.Add(value)
} else if prefix := value[:idx]; prefix != "" {
    paths.Add(prefix)
}
```

This prevents empty entries in `paths`.

```suggestion
		booleanpolicy.ForEachValueWithFieldName(policy, fieldnames.FilePath, func(value string) bool {
			idx := strings.IndexFunc(value, func(r rune) bool {
				return strings.ContainsRune("*?[]{}", r)
			})

			if idx < 0 {
				paths.Add(value)
			} else if prefix := value[:idx]; prefix != "" {
				paths.Add(prefix)
			}
			return true
		})
```
