Subject: [PATCH] fix(installer): make post-install allowlist write guaranteed

- Remove '|| true' that was hiding write failures
- Add fallback path when config doesn't exist yet (triggers materialization)
- Add logging for allowlist operations
- Report warnings on write failures instead of silent failure

Addresses CodeRabbit review comment on PR #1457
