📄 Description

Description

Fixed a Time-of-Check Time-of-Use (TOCTOU) bug by handling exceptions instead of checking for a file existing beforehand. While this is extremely unlikely to occur naturally we should fix it anyway.

load_json_config was only being used by the migration, so we can remove it.

We previously saved the loaded config in the data variable. This has a global scope and would not get removed by the gc. We can fix this by moving the migration into its own function.

Future

We should probably add a comment on how long of a migration period we want to have. This project moves very fast and the migration started 7 months ago already.
