Read-Only Config Directory Startup Fix

What Changed

Fixed silent startup hang when config directory is read-only or unwritable — now starts with in-memory config and surfaces errors

Operator Implication

Improves robustness in restricted environments (sandboxed, read-only mounts, containers); startup now succeeds and surfaces errors instead of hanging
