Description

This PR removes the deprecated --no-txt command line argument as indicated by the TODO comment in the code, and applies some code formatting improvements.

Changes Made

  • ✅ Removed deprecated --no-txt argument and related code (10 lines removed)
  • ✅ Cleaned up TODO comment that marked this for removal
  • ✅ Applied code formatting improvements for consistency
  • ✅ Maintained full functionality of --txt flag

Testing

  • Verified --txt flag still works correctly
  • Confirmed --no-txt flag is properly rejected
  • Tested basic Sherlock functionality
  • Checked version command works
  • Core functionality tests pass (21/25 tests passing)

Note on Test Results: 4 tests fail due to environment setup (tests expect global sherlock command but we're using virtual environment). These failures are not related to the code changes - they're infrastructure/environment issues where tests try to run sherlock command directly but it's not in PATH. The failing tests are in test_ux.py and test_version.py and relate to command execution, not the argument parsing changes made in this PR.
