Merge branch 'main' into fix/71-notify-test-coverage

## Summary

Add comprehensive tests for the `internal/config` package, covering the main configuration loading path that was previously untested.

Closes [issue #72](#72)

## What Changed

Added three new test files:

- **`config_test.go`** — 16 tests covering `New()`, `StatePath()`, and the full config loading pipeline
- **`parsecsv_test.go`** — 10 test cases for `parseCSV()` edge cases
- **`export_test.go`** — standard Go export bridge for testing unexported `parseCSV`

## Test Coverage

| Area | Tests |
|------|-------|
| Default values | All 14 config fields verified against documented defaults |
| Environment overrides | All env vars tested including `PORT` (unprefixed) |
| Invalid duration fallback | `DNSWATCHER_DNS_INTERVAL=banana` falls back to 1h |
| Invalid TLS interval | `DNSWATCHER_TLS_INTERVAL=notaduration` falls back to 12h |
| No targets error | Empty/missing `DNSWATCHER_TARGETS` returns `ErrNoTargets` |
| Invalid targets | Public suffix (`co.uk`) rejected with error |
| CSV parsing | Trailing commas, leading commas, consecutive commas, whitespace, tabs |
| Debug mode | `DNSWATCHER_DEBUG=true` enables debug logging |
| Target classification | Domains vs hostnames correctly separated via PSL |
| StatePath | Path construction with various `DataDir` values |
| Empty appname | Falls back to "dnswatcher" config file name |

**Coverage: 23% → 92.5%**

## Notes

- Tests use `viper.Reset()` for isolation since Viper has global state
- Non-parallel tests use `t.Setenv()` for automatic env var cleanup
- Uses testify `assert`/`require` consistent with other test files in the repo
- No production code changes
