Failed to parse config file {}: {error}

Error message

Failed to parse config file {}: {error}

What it means

After reading config.toml, ProxyConfigTool parses it with toml::from_str; this fires when the file contents are not valid TOML or don't match the Config schema — e.g. hand-edited syntax error or schema drift from an older version. No proxy change is applied.

Solutions

1. Fix the TOML syntax/type error the parser reports in config.toml
2. Restore config.toml from backup or delete it to let the core reinitialize defaults
3. Run config validation/migrations to upgrade an old schema
