TigahandGitHub dff4de397e feat(config): add -config/-profile config file and profile overlays (#357)
* feat(config): add -config/-profile config file and profile overlays

extend the existing goflags yaml config mechanism (the same one -template
already uses) with an explicit -config path and named -profile overlays,
instead of adding a second config system.

resolveConfigInput unifies -config/-profile/-template into a single flat
yaml path for goflags to merge before Parse: unset, it returns "" and
goflags falls back to its ambient ~/.config/sif/config.yaml unchanged.
a profile overlays its keys onto the file's top-level keys in a go map
before handing goflags a flat temp file, so precedence stays explicit cli
flag > profile > file default > built-in default via goflags' own
DefValue sentinel merge. -config and -template share one config slot and
are mutually exclusive.

verifies empirically that goflags auto-creates and merges the ambient
config file with no explicit SetConfigFilePath call, which this feature
depends on.

* docs(config): document -config/-profile and drop the dead toml example

template-example.toml was unreferenced by any go file and did not match
how goflags actually reads config (flat long-name keys, yaml). replace it
with config-example.yaml showing the real schema, including a profiles
block, and document -config/-profile in the usage/configuration guides
and the man page.

* fix(config): validate malformed config on the no-profile path

resolveConfigInput used to return an explicit -config path unparsed when
-profile was not set, so a malformed yaml file skipped validation entirely.
goflags then silently discarded the decode error, dropping every real
setting in the file with no diagnostic and exit 0, while the same file with
-profile already errored cleanly through loadConfigMap.

route both branches through one buildFlatConfig that always loads via
loadConfigMap and only overlays a profile when one is selected, so a
malformed file errors the same way regardless of -profile.

* fix(config): let explicit cli flags override config and profile values

goflags' own merge (readConfigFile) treats a flag whose current value equals
its DefValue as "unset" and applies the config value over it. that makes an
explicit cli flag silently lose to the config file or a profile whenever the
user happens to pass the flag's own default, e.g. "-timeout 10s" against the
built-in 10s default: today the file's 1s wins even though the flag was set
explicitly on the command line. the same class of bug hits -threads,
-concurrency, -notify-severity, and any profile value on the same merge path.

scan the raw args for every flag the user actually passed (long or short
alias, space or "=" form) and strip those keys out of the resolved config/
profile map before it ever reaches goflags, so cli precedence holds
unconditionally instead of only when the value differs from the default.

flagAliasGroups derives the long/short alias groups from the real flag
registration (grouping by the shared flag.Value pointer) rather than a
second hardcoded name table, so it can't drift from registerFlags.

goflags also swallows a type-mismatched config value entirely (discards
fl.Value.Set's error); that is a separate, lower-severity gap in the
vendored dependency itself and is left alone, noted in a comment.

.SH DESCRIPTION
.B sif
is a modular recon and exploitation suite. it runs multiple scan types
concurrently against one or more targets, and can be extended with yaml
modules. a scheme\-less target defaults to
.B https://
\&; an explicit
.B http://
or
.B https://
is kept; any other scheme is rejected.
