Description

If coldcore is started with coldcore -c pass:nonexistentpath, coldcore will silently create a new config. There should be a warning message or prompt.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Locate the config loading logic (likely in main or config module) and add a warning when an invalid path is provided. Then write a test for this case.
