Description
The Python version of `connvitals` now (v4.0.2+) has functionality to check at run-time for the user's permissions, exiting with a failure if the program cannot be run as requested. This feature is currently missing in Go, and should be implemented as soon as possible to maintain feature-parity between the two versions.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Compare the Python connvitals v4.0.2+ permission-checking behavior with the Go implementation; no specific files or tests are named in the issue. Start by locating the corresponding runtime checks in both versions, and consider the work done when Go fails cleanly whenever the requested operation lacks the user's permissions and matches Python's behavior.
