project configuration file does not exist

Error message

project configuration file does not exist: %s

What it means

ReadProjectConfig builds the path PRODUCT_CONFIG_PATH/<Domain>/project.json and requires it to exist before reading. If public.FileExists reports false, it returns this error naming the missing file, signaling the project was never initialized for that domain.

Solutions

1. Run askai.Create(Domain, urls) first to generate the project.json for that domain
2. Verify the exact Domain string matches the directory name under PRODUCT_CONFIG_PATH (case/spelling)
3. Check the PRODUCT_CONFIG_PATH volume is mounted/persistent in deployment
4. Handle the error by prompting the user to set up the project instead of failing the whole request

Example fix

// before
cfg, err := askai.ReadProjectConfig(domain)
if err != nil { return err }
// after
cfg, err := askai.ReadProjectConfig(domain)
if err != nil && strings.Contains(err.Error(), "does not exist") {
    if err := askai.Create(domain, []string{"https://" + domain}); err != nil { return err }
    cfg, err = askai.ReadProjectConfig(domain)
}
if err != nil { return err }

filename := filepath.Join(productConfigPath, domain, "project.json")
if _, err := os.Stat(filename); os.IsNotExist(err) {
    // initialize first
    if err := askai.Create(domain, []string{"https://" + domain}); err != nil { return err }
}

cfg, err := askai.ReadProjectConfig(domain)
if err != nil {
    if strings.Contains(err.Error(), "does not exist") {
        return handleUninitializedProject(domain) // create or inform user
    }
    return err
}

When it happens

Trigger: Any of GetProjectConfigPrompt, GetBaseInfo, GetProjectStatus, SetProjectStatus, ModifyBaseInfo, AutoGetProjectInfo calls ReadProjectConfig for a domain whose project.json was never created (Create not run), was deleted, or whose Domain string mismatches the on-disk directory (case, trailing slash, wrong domain).

Common situations: Fresh deployment where projects were never created; data volume not mounted so PRODUCT_CONFIG_PATH is empty; domain renamed/case-mismatch between DB and filesystem; manually cleaning the storage directory.
