Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/devnullvoid/pvetui/issues/70

Originally assigned to: @devnullvoid on GitHub.

There appears to be a second, related issue on Windows when launching the configuration wizard directly via the command-line flag, rather than letting pvetui create the default config first.

When running pvetui 1.0.15 on Windows with the --config-wizard flag, the interactive configuration wizard allows all fields to be filled out but fails when saving. The tool creates the pvetui configuration directory, but no configuration file is written.

Steps to reproduce

Install pvetui 1.0.15 on Windows using Scoop.
Open PowerShell and run:
```
pvetui --config-wizard
```
Fill in the configuration form, including valid authentication details (password or token).
Select Save.
Observe the error dialog:

Failed to save config: open: The system cannot find the file specified.

Expected behavior

The configuration wizard should create a new configuration file and save the provided settings successfully.

Actual behavior

The pvetui configuration directory is created.
No configuration file is written.
The save operation fails with the error above.

Environment

OS: Windows 11
Installation method: Scoop
Version: pvetui 1.0.15

Additional notes (hypothesis)

My guess is that, in this code path, the wizard attempts to open an existing config file for writing rather than creating a new one if it does not already exist. This would explain why the directory is created but the save fails when no config file is present.

Happy to test a fix or provide additional debugging output if needed.

Fix is on develop and verified (Windows). Config wizard now creates/loads a default config when launched with --config-wizard so Save succeeds. Release pending.
