Generate, override, or bypass the config file entirely.

Generate an example config

$python -m summarizer --init-config

This creates a starter summarizer.yaml in the project root.

Use a custom config file

$python -m summarizer --source "URL" --config ./my-config.yaml

Ignore config entirely

$python -m summarizer --source "URL" --no-config --base-url "..." --model "..."

Tip: CLI flags always override summarizer.yaml values. --no-config forces the CLI to rely only on flags and .env for API keys.
