Test that configuration rejects a missing contract id

[Glittersup]

Summary

Starting without a contract id would leave the indexer polling for events from nothing. Configuration is expected to fail fast, and that path is untested.

Acceptance criteria

• A test asserts configuration loading fails when the contract id is absent.
• The error names the missing variable.
• The suite still passes.

Hi @Glittersup , I was assigned this issue but it looks like it's already been resolved the test covering the missing contract ID case was merged in commit 6394051 (feat: validate config at load, complete env template, add request ids). The
config.test.ts
file already contains the "rejects a missing contract id before the server starts" assertion and it passes.
