Fixes #419: a key that no setting has was ignored, so a typo in exclude backed up what the user meant to leave out.
config.Parse now walks the file as the user wrote it and fails on the first unknown key at any depth, naming its dotted path and line: unknown config key "snapshots.home.exlude" on line 7. It checks before smartconfig fills in ${...} references, so a key typo is reported even when a referenced variable is unset, and references in any value still load.
Keys that a ${...} reference brings in, such as a snapshot read with ${YAML:...}, are checked once smartconfig has filled it in. That error names the dotted path without a line, since the key is not in the file.
config set refuses a key that no setting has before it writes the file.
The key-to-field lookup moved from internal/cli to config.SettingType, which both use.
What the diff does not show:
yaml.v3's own strict mode (KnownFields) is not used. Parse decodes a copy re-marshalled by smartconfig, so its line numbers would point into that copy, not the user's file.
YAML anchors and merge keys (<<: *base) still load; the keys they bring in are checked where they are written.
A top-level env: section still loads, and its keys are not checked: smartconfig reads it to set environment variables. vaultik config set env.FOO bar sets that key like any other value.

Fixes https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/vaultik/issues/419: a key that no setting has was ignored, so a typo in `exclude` backed up what the user meant to leave out.
- `config.Parse` now walks the file as the user wrote it and fails on the first unknown key at any depth, naming its dotted path and line: `unknown config key "snapshots.home.exlude" on line 7`. It checks before `smartconfig` fills in `${...}` references, so a key typo is reported even when a referenced variable is unset, and references in any value still load.
- Keys that a `${...}` reference brings in, such as a snapshot read with `${YAML:...}`, are checked once `smartconfig` has filled it in. That error names the dotted path without a line, since the key is not in the file.
- `config set` refuses a key that no setting has before it writes the file.
- The key-to-field lookup moved from `internal/cli` to `config.SettingType`, which both use.
What the diff does not show:
- `yaml.v3`'s own strict mode (`KnownFields`) is not used. `Parse` decodes a copy re-marshalled by `smartconfig`, so its line numbers would point into that copy, not the user's file.
- YAML anchors and merge keys (`<<: *base`) still load; the keys they bring in are checked where they are written.
- A top-level `env:` section still loads, and its keys are not checked: `smartconfig` reads it to set environment variables. `vaultik config set env.FOO bar` sets that key like any other value.

internal/config/config.goParse (line 303) and checkKeys in internal/config/keys.go: keys are checked only in the file as written. An unknown key inside a map that a ${...} reference fills in still loads silently. For example, snapshots: ${YAML:/etc/vaultik/snaps.yml:snapshots} with exlude: in that file loads with no excludes. s3: ${YAML:...} with bukcet: loads with no bucket. That is the failure the issue describes, and the PR body does not disclose it. Acceptable: loading also fails on an unknown key that a reference brings in, naming its dotted path (without a line, since the key is not in the file). A test covers it with a ${YAML:...} reference.
internal/cli/config_test.go lines 224–228: the doc comment of TestConfigSetKeepsFileThatWouldNotLoad still says that on a config that does not load "only a value of the wrong type is refused". The PR's own compression_lvl case refuses an unknown key on such a config. Acceptable: the comment names both.
README.md lines 314–322, and the same text in the config set help in internal/cli/config.go lines 443–451:
The sentence the PR edited, "A config that does not load, such as the one config init writes … is refused.", runs about 70 words, and its verb comes after a long inserted clause.
The added sentence "A key that no setting has, such as a misspelled one, is refused." paraphrases "unknown key", the term the error itself uses. The plan on the issue also limits README edits to sentences the fix makes false.
Acceptable: short sentences, with the unknown key folded into the corrected sentence. For example: "A config that does not load is checked one setting at a time. Examples are the file config init writes before storage_url is set, and one with a ${ENV:...} reference to a variable not set in this shell. In such a config, an unknown key or a value of the wrong type is refused."
Open point for sneak, not counted as a finding: a top-level env: section is now refused as an unknown key. The config library uses that section to set environment variables before vaultik reads them, VAULTIK_AGE_SECRET_KEY among them. No vaultik document offers it, so I treated the refusal as within the issue.

For the reworker. This is the third failed review, and this comment ends the loop. Make exactly these two changes. Change nothing else, including tests and comments the review did not name.
Finding 1, aliases followed again and again (#443 (comment)). In internal/config/keys.go, give the walk a second set beside following: the pairs of alias target node and struct type it has already checked completely. In the yaml.AliasNode case, keep the existing following check and its error as they are. Then, if the pair (node.Alias, typ) is already in the done set, return nil. After checkKeys(node.Alias, ...) returns without error, add the pair. Pass the set through checkKeys, checkMappingKeys and checkFilledKeys the same way following is passed. Each anchored map is then checked once per setting type.
Test in internal/config/keys_test.go: the review's file of eight snapshots, each with a merge key listing the snapshot before it ten times. Parse of it returns an error, and the test itself takes no time limit. Without the fix it runs past the package's timeout.
Finding 2, config set env.NAME. In writeConfigSet in internal/cli/config.go, skip the config.SettingType check when the first part of the key is env. Such a key is then set like any other value. Add one case in internal/cli/config_test.go: config set env.NAME value on a config that loads writes env: {NAME: value}.

config.Parse walks the file as written and fails on the first key that
matches no setting, naming its dotted path and line, so a typo in
exclude or prune_grace_period no longer falls back silently. Keys that a
${...} reference brings in are checked once smartconfig has filled it
in, and named without a line. YAML merge keys and a top-level env
section, which smartconfig reads, still load; an anchor that contains
itself is an error, and each anchored map is checked once per type.
config set refuses such a key before writing, with the same error, and
sets a key under env like any other value. The key-to-field lookup
moves from internal/cli to config.SettingType so both use it.

FAIL:
needs-reworkinternal/config/keys.go, the alias case ofcheckKeys(line 82) and the merge-key branch ofcheckMappingKeys(line 133): the key walk follows an alias again every time it meets one, so merge keys that fan out make the walk exponential. Take a file of about 600 bytes in which each of eight snapshots has a merge key listing the snapshot before it ten times. With it,vaultik snapshot listandvaultik config setrun for minutes. Onnextthe same file fails at once withyaml: document contains excessive aliasing, the YAML library's own limit, which the walk now runs ahead of. Acceptable: such a file fails to load with an error as quickly as onnext, for example by checking each anchored map once per setting type instead of once per alias. A test ininternal/config/keys_test.gocovers it.internal/cli/config.goline 486, theconfig.SettingTypecall inwriteConfigSet:vaultik config set env.NAME valueis refused withunknown config key "env.NAME", though loading accepts the same key in a top-levelenv:section. Onnextit sets the key. Point 4 of #443 (comment) keeps that section working and says its contents are not checked against vaultik's settings. Acceptable:config settreats a key under the top-levelenvas loading does and sets it, and a case ininternal/cli/config_test.gocoversconfig set env.NAME value.Judgement call: finding 2 overrides the reworker's disclosed judgement call in #443 (comment).

For the reworker. This is the third failed review, and this comment ends the loop. Make exactly these two changes. Change nothing else, including tests and comments the review did not name.
internal/config/keys.go, give the walk a second set besidefollowing: the pairs of alias target node and struct type it has already checked completely. In theyaml.AliasNodecase, keep the existingfollowingcheck and its error as they are. Then, if the pair (node.Alias,typ) is already in the done set, return nil. AftercheckKeys(node.Alias, ...)returns without error, add the pair. Pass the set throughcheckKeys,checkMappingKeysandcheckFilledKeysthe same wayfollowingis passed. Each anchored map is then checked once per setting type.internal/config/keys_test.go: the review's file of eight snapshots, each with a merge key listing the snapshot before it ten times.Parseof it returns an error, and the test itself takes no time limit. Without the fix it runs past the package's timeout.config set env.NAME. InwriteConfigSetininternal/cli/config.go, skip theconfig.SettingTypecheck when the first part of the key isenv. Such a key is then set like any other value. Add one case ininternal/cli/config_test.go:config set env.NAME valueon a config that loads writesenv: {NAME: value}.Rebase onto current
origin/next, runmake fmtandmake check, push with--force-with-lease, and reply here with one line per change.For the next reviewer. Your verdict covers only these two changes, done as written, and that
make checkpasses. Three reviews have covered the rest. List anything else you notice under "For the manager", one line each. It does not fail the PR.Model: opus-5-5
abb0447c6btoc40ff647c3config.Parse walks the file as written and fails on the first key that matches no setting, naming its dotted path and line, so a typo in exclude or prune_grace_period no longer falls back silently. Keys that a ${...} reference brings in are checked once smartconfig has filled it in, and named without a line. YAML merge keys and a top-level env section, which smartconfig reads, still load; an anchor that contains itself is an error, and each anchored map is checked once per type. config set refuses such a key before writing, with the same error, and sets a key under env like any other value. The key-to-field lookup moves from internal/cli to config.SettingType so both use it.
