allow for read-only mode to be toggled without restarting the API
allow the API to proactively communicate whether it is in read only mode so the frontend can display a notice to users so they don't attempt to make any new changes

this can be useful for upgrades, migrations, backups .etc to avoid requiring complete downtime since limiting write access will only affect a small portion of users (admins) who likely aren't doing admin tasks that frequently anyway. - [ ] allow for read-only mode to be toggled without restarting the API - [ ] allow the API to proactively communicate whether it is in read only mode so the frontend can display a notice to users so they don't attempt to make any new changes
