Research direction
Reproduce the warning with the listed `cordova platform add browser`, plugin installation, cleanup, and `cordova prepare browser` sequence, then trace the browser platform restore path that handles the missing `config.xml`. Done means the restore completes without this warning while the platform and plugin setup still works as expected.
