Description

Currently, when a service_account_file path is passed to FCM there is no check to ensure that the file exists. I propose ensuring the file exists before calling Google's oauth service.

Research direction

Start in baseapi.py at the service_account_file handling around line 32, and trace the path before Google's OAuth service is called. Confirm the behavior for a missing service-account path and ensure existence is checked before authentication proceeds.
