[AccountGroups] Group ${index} has invalid account ids

Error message

[AccountGroups] Group ${index} has invalid account ids

What it means

Validation in parseGroups: the group at the reported index has an accountIds field that is not an array of strings. accountIds is the membership list binding accounts to the group, so a malformed list means the group cannot be safely used and the load aborts.

Solutions

1. Repair accountIds in the stored JSON so it is an array of string account ids
2. Drop membership entries pointing at deleted accounts, keeping the array shape
3. Harden the save path to always write an array of strings even when membership is empty
