senke a8a8b47b00 fix(backend): print config-init error to stderr before silent exit
main.go's config-load failure path silently os.Exit(1)s, which means
lumberjack's file-rotation buffer never flushes before exit and the
journal only sees \"started → exited 1\" with zero diagnostic. Last
deploy run's app log had only the \"Logger initialized\" line; the
actual NewConfig error never made it to disk because os.Exit doesn't
run defers.

A plain fmt.Fprintf to stderr → goes to systemd journal synchronously
→ the next probe rescue dump will show what's actually failing.

The original \"don't write to stderr to avoid broken pipe with
journald\" comment cited a concern that doesn't apply at this point in
startup: there's no parent to break the pipe to, and journald accepts
arbitrary bytes on stderr. Keep the os.Exit but print first.
