    CAMEL-24855: the file consumer says at INFO when it creates the starting 
directory it consumes from
    
    ## Description
    
    A route that consumes from a directory the project does not have (`from: 
file://orders` with the files next to the route instead) starts, creates the 
empty directory and waits: no error, no output, and nothing in the log says 
why. In the round-2 benchmark (series l3) 7 of 9 silent attempts were this 
shape; for a person prototyping with `camel run` it is the hardest failure to 
read.
    
    The file consumer now logs at INFO when it creates the starting directory:
    
    ```
    Created starting directory: orders (it did not exist): waiting for files
    ```
    
    where before it said so only at debug. The line reaches every runtime and 
every log reader (`camel run`, the camel-jbang-mcp log tool). A validator 
warning was considered and left out: the validator has no warning level (every 
message fails validation and blocks the MCP write tool), and an inbox another 
process fills is a legitimate route. The runtime line is the evidence; if the 
silent failures persist in the next series, a warning level can follow.
    
    ## Tests
    
    The existing file consumer tests cover the auto-created directory; the 
change is one log statement on the success branch.
