## 2.2 Integration with Existing Code

### Update: `mod.rs`

**Implementation**:

```rust
impl Config {
    pub fn load(path: Option<&Path>) -> Result<Self, ConfigError> {
        let config = ConfigLoader::load(path)?;
        let validation = ConfigValidator::new().validate(&config)?;

        if !validation.is_valid {
            let error_messages: Vec<String> = validation.errors
                .iter()
                .map(|e| format!("[{}] {}: {}", e.severity, e.category, e.message))
                .collect();
            return Err(ConfigError::InvalidConfig {
                message: error_messages.join("; "),
            });
        }

        if !validation.warnings.is_empty() {
            tracing::warn!("Configuration warnings:");
            for warning in &validation.warnings {
                tracing::warn!("  • [{}] {}: {}", warning.severity, warning.category, warning.message);
                if let Some(suggestion) = &warning.suggestion {
                    tracing::warn!("    💡 {}", suggestion);
                }
            }
        }

        Ok(config)
    }
}
```

**Success Criteria**:
- [ ] Duplicate validation logic eliminated
- [ ] Integration with existing code complete
- [ ] Error messages actionable
- [ ] All tests pass
