Validate input path exists in addInputPath

Use the FileInfo already provided by Walk instead of calling Stat again.
Only stat if fi is nil (defensive, shouldn't happen in normal Walk usage).
Also fixes potential nil pointer dereference if fi was nil.

+# Phases
+
+Manifest generation happens in two distinct phases:
+
+## Phase 1: Enumeration
+
+Walking directories and calling `stat()` on files to collect metadata (path, size, mtime, ctime). This builds the list of files to be scanned. Relatively fast as it only reads filesystem metadata, not file contents.
+
+**Progress:** `EnumerateStatus` with `FilesFound` and `BytesFound`
+
+## Phase 2: Scan (ToManifest)
+
+Reading file contents and computing cryptographic hashes for manifest generation. This is the expensive phase that reads all file data from disk.
+
+**Progress:** `ScanStatus` with `TotalFiles`, `ScannedFiles`, `TotalBytes`, `ScannedBytes`, `BytesPerSec`
+
+# Code Conventions
+
+- **Logging:** Never use `fmt.Printf` or write to stdout/stderr directly in normal code. Use the `internal/log` package for all output (`log.Info`, `log.Infof`, `log.Debug`, `log.Debugf`, `log.Progressf`, `log.ProgressDone`).
+- **Filesystem abstraction:** Use `github.com/spf13/afero` for filesystem operations to enable testing and flexibility.
+- **CLI framework:** Use `github.com/urfave/cli/v2` for command-line interface.
+- **Serialization:** Use Protocol Buffers for manifest file format.
+- **Internal packages:** Non-exported implementation details go in `internal/` subdirectories.
+- **Concurrency:** Use `sync.RWMutex` for protecting shared state; prefer channels for progress reporting.
+- **Progress channels:** Use buffered channels (size 1) with non-blocking sends to avoid blocking the main operation if the consumer is slow.
+- **Context support:** Long-running operations should accept `context.Context` for cancellation.
+- **NO_COLOR:** Respect the `NO_COLOR` environment variable for disabling colored output.
+- **Options pattern:** Use `NewWithOptions(opts *Options)` constructor pattern for configurable types.
