The check subcommand requires a writable hosts file, but it doesn't write to the hosts file. I should be able to use the check subcommand without needing to use sudo or changing the write permissions of the hosts file if it's readable to all users

❯ goodhosts check vvv.test
Host file not writable. Try running with elevated privileges.

❯ sudo goodhosts check vvv.test
vvv.test exists in hosts file
