What
When the settings store reports no user settings file, the primer records an empty parse instead of leaving the entry unset, so later reads do not fall back to reading the file directly.
Details
Logging now separates an absent file from an oversize or failing one; only the latter is described as served by the raw path.
The freshness watcher returns early under a new guard.
Evidence
settingsPrime: user settings absent; seeded as none
Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
