Add support for default project ID via config and environment#23
Conversation
Allow the project ID to be provided via the HONEYBADGER_PROJECT_ID environment variable as a fallback when the --project-id flag is not set. This follows the same pattern used by HONEYBADGER_API_KEY and HONEYBADGER_AUTH_TOKEN, leveraging Viper's AutomaticEnv with the HONEYBADGER prefix. Updated all commands that accept --project-id (faults, check-ins, comments, deployments, environments, insights, uptime) to check viper for the project_id config key when the flag value is zero. Also removed MarkFlagRequired for project-id in insights since the value can now come from the environment. https://claude.ai/code/session_01WT7m3r3dcygQtJYdacCnN7
Add project_id to the config file example and HONEYBADGER_PROJECT_ID to the environment variables section. https://claude.ai/code/session_01WT7m3r3dcygQtJYdacCnN7
Break the project ID error message across multiple lines to satisfy the golines line-length linter. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Pull request overview
Adds a “default project ID” mechanism for Data API commands so users don’t need to pass --project-id on every invocation, by falling back to project_id from Viper config / HONEYBADGER_PROJECT_ID.
Changes:
- Added per-command fallback logic: if
--project-idis unset/0, readproject_idfrom configuration. - Updated “missing project ID” validation errors and removed the
project-idrequired-flag constraint forinsights query. - Updated README configuration + environment variable examples to include
project_id/HONEYBADGER_PROJECT_ID.

The project_id key was never registered with viper (unlike api_key,
auth_token, and endpoint which are bound via BindPFlag). Without
registration, viper.GetInt("project_id") with AutomaticEnv doesn't
find the HONEYBADGER_PROJECT_ID environment variable.
Add viper.BindEnv("project_id") in initConfig to explicitly register
the key for env var lookup.

This should work with hbtui as well. 👍
