- Wrap the JSON parse error in LoadConfig with the config file path so users know which file has the problem (fixes floatpane#1520). - Replace panic on malformed embedded default_keybinds.json with a logged warning that returns empty keybinds, preventing a crash from corrupted embedded data.

What?
Wrap config file parse errors with the file path, and replace the
panic()indefaultKeybinds()with a logged warning.Why?
Closes #1520
When a config file is malformed, the error only showed a raw JSON parse error with no indication of which file was broken. Users had no way to know what to fix.
If the embedded
default_keybinds.jsonwas somehow corrupted, the application crashed with a panic instead of degrading gracefully.
