Merge pull request 'refactor: quality cleanup — table-driven CLI, file.c split, scanner helpers, unified error reporting' (#216) from refactor/quality-cleanup into dev

- Add log_perror() helper (context + strerror(errno)) to the log module
- Replace all bare perror() calls with log_perror() so errors are routed
  through the unified logger (stderr sink + optional --log-file sink)
- Convert fprintf(stderr, "Error:/Warning: ...") in client code to
  log_message(); raw fprintf kept only for progress/stats output
