Use an argument array with the transcript path and configured glossary selections,

select an explicit transcript file destination and a configuration path. Reports
go beside the transcript unless an explicit `--report-dir` selects another
directory. For stdout output, reports use the effective `reporting.stdout_dir`
(defaulting to the invocation working directory), including a `--report-dir`
override. A config-file or overlay value for `reporting.stdout_dir` alone does
not redirect file-output reports. `--work-dir` selects a debug root, while
configuration or `--debug` enables capture; the path flag alone does not.

Supplying a configuration path also makes file selection predictable; only
