Unknown key or button in 30_navigation and other config files after upgrade

• [x] I've run a search on the existing bug reports to make sure I'm not filing a duplicate (you can use the search box at the top left corner)
• [X] I've read the Regolith documentation and didn't find any relevant topic
• [x] I tried asking on Slack (especially for configuration related issues)

Describe the bug I upgraded yesterday after a week OOO and rebooted this morning. After logging in I found the following sway error message:

Configuration file(s) Please attach or mention any customization you've done to configuration files which might have an impact on the bug you are describing. It'll help us determine the root cause of your issue.

[jc00ke]

To get the warning to go away I had to comment out a bunch of lines in the common config files:

• 30_navigation
• 40_workspace-config
• 50_resize=mode

[kgilmer]

There were two cases in which shared bindsym decls had been declared in partials instead of the root. This caused non-obvious errors across other partials that were depending on them. To resolve this, those decls moved to the root of the config file. A consequence is that any customized partials that retail the old decls will produce errors like this.

[daniel-ziegler]

This happened to me as well. I don't think I've customized anything in the common config, and it's a bit surprising to have to comment out a bunch of stuff there. When I do, those keybindings just stop working. What's the right fix? (Didn't quite understand your comment)
