Research direction

Start by locating how autoflake reads the [tool.autoflake] TOML configuration and how the command handles paths. Check whether the files option is currently parsed or passed to the CLI, then verify that running autoflake with no positional paths uses entries such as scripts and src. Done means the documented configuration invokes autoflake on those paths.
