Problem
When platform.valuesFiles names a file that no longer exists, agentlab down (and presumably every command that loads the configuration) fails with
although agentlab.yaml is right there. Observed on 2026-09-12 while taking a lab down whose valuesFiles pointed at a checkout that had been removed: the message sent the operator looking for the wrong problem; editing the valuesFiles entry out made down work.
Proposed solution
A missing values overlay is reported as what it is — platform.valuesFiles[0]: <path>: no such file — and down in particular should not need the overlays at all (destroying the cluster needs the cluster name, nothing from the platform values).
