Nice change, thank you!
Only thing I noticed:
$ ./checkmake --config=test.ini list-rules
Error: unknown flag: --config
$
Apart from this, it is fine.
And this not even something that worked before.
Refactors the command-line interface to use the `spf13/cobra` library, replacing the legacy `docopt` implementation. Major Changes: - Replaced docopt-based argument parsing with Cobra commands and flags: - Added `--config`, `--format`, and `--debug` as proper Cobra flags. - Added a `list-rules` subcommand. - Removed `os.Exit` calls from logic functions; errors now propagate via `RunE`, allowing Cobra to handle exit codes. - Improved config file handling with explicit error reporting and cross-platform path safety using `filepath.Join`. Testing improvements: - Rewrote main tests to use Cobra commands directly. - Added `captureOutput()` helper to test CLI output. - New tests for: - Successful run with a simple Makefile. - Failing run with known rule violations. - Listing of registered rules (regex-based table validation). - Custom formatter flag (`--format`). CLI behavior and output changes: - Output Streams: Prints violation data to `stdout` and a final summary error to `stderr`, improving scriptability. - Exit Code: Exits with a standard code of `1` on failure, instead of the previous behavior of exiting with the violation count.
