Code Review
This pull request addresses a gosec G703 lint issue by adding nolint directives. The change is appropriate for a command-line tool where file paths are provided by a trusted user. My feedback focuses on improving the clarity and descriptiveness of the nolint comments for better long-term maintainability, suggesting the inclusion of the specific lint rule ID and a clearer justification for suppressing the warning.

The nolint comment could be more descriptive. While it's correct to suppress this for a CLI tool, the reason should be clearer. Stating it's a user-provided path is what triggers the gosec G703 (path traversal) lint; the justification for suppression is the context (a CLI tool where the user is trusted). Including the specific lint rule ID is also helpful for maintainability.
| outFile, err := os.Create(filepath.Clean(outputFile)) //nolint:gosec // user-provided path | |
| outFile, err := os.Create(filepath.Clean(outputFile)) //nolint:gosec // G703: False positive for a CLI tool where user-provided paths are expected. |

Similar to the output file path, this nolint comment could be more descriptive. Explicitly stating the lint rule ID (G703) and the reason for suppression (CLI tool context) improves code clarity and maintainability for anyone reading the code in the future.
| inFile, err := os.Open(filepath.Clean(inputFile)) //nolint:gosec // user-provided path | |
| inFile, err := os.Open(filepath.Clean(inputFile)) //nolint:gosec // G703: False positive for a CLI tool where user-provided paths are expected. |
