+"""Regression: APIKeyManager.load() must not crash on a corrupt/wrong-shape file.

+load() is called during startup (app_initializer). It had no try/except around
+`json.load` and called `encrypted_keys.items()` directly, so a corrupt/truncated
+api_keys.json raised JSONDecodeError and a legacy list-shaped file raised
+AttributeError — both crashing app startup. It now returns {} instead.
