 - Refactored the internal configuration management from a dictionary to a `dataclass` (`ScriberConfig`). This improves type safety, code readability, and makes programmatic configuration more intuitive and less error-prone.
 - Enhanced the `exclude` configuration option to support `.gitignore`-style pattern matching. This allows for more precise rules, such as matching directories only (e.g., `build/`) or root-level files (e.g., `/config.yaml`).
