Add tests for env file overwrite logging and fix PrepareAsync

- Add EnvFile.Create() method to create new env file without loading existing content
- Update PrepareAsync to use Create() instead of Load() to avoid loading old entries
- Add PrepareStep_OverwritesExistingEnvFileAndLogsWarning test
- Add PrepareStep_OverwritesExistingEnvFileWithCustomEnvironmentName test
- Both tests verify file is overwritten and log message is emitted
- All 60 tests pass
