--install-service generates plist without -c flag, service fails with EX_CONFIG (78)

Bug: --install-service missing -c config argument causes service to fail with EX_CONFIG (78)

Describe the bug

--install-service generates a plist with a missing -c config argument in ProgramArguments, causing the service to fail with EX_CONFIG (78) even when a valid config exists at the default location ~/.config/skhd/skhdrc.

To Reproduce

1. Install via homebrew: brew install jackielii/tap/skhd-zig
2. Create config at ~/.config/skhd/skhdrc
3. Run skhd --install-service && skhd --start-service
4. Service fails to start — skhd --status shows Currently running: No

Expected behavior

--install-service should detect the config file location and include -c <path> in the generated plist ProgramArguments, or the service should correctly fall back to default config locations without needing the flag.

Debug Information

launchctl print gui/$(id -u)/com.jackielii.skhd shows:

arguments = {
    /opt/homebrew/Cellar/skhd-zig/0.0.17/bin/skhd
}
last exit code = 78: EX_CONFIG

• No -c argument is present in the generated plist
• Log file /tmp/skhd_$USER.log is completely empty
• Manually running skhd -V -c ~/.config/skhd/skhdrc works perfectly
• Editing the plist to add -c and the config path does not take effect even after launchctl unload/load — bootout/bootstrap is required, which --stop-service/--start-service does not use internally

Environment

macOS version	26.3 Tahoe
skhd.zig version	v0.0.17-0e4a522 (fast)

hi, I don't think this is the case. The service only runs skhd, the -c ~/.config/skhd/skhdrc is the default option. It must be something else. This happens only in tohoe, not in sequoia
