Adds RFD 061, proposing an interactive configuration browser triggered by a bare `--cfg` flag (no value). When invoked, the wizard presents a filterable list of all `AppConfig` fields, lets the user search and select one, then shows a type-appropriate inline prompt (confirm for booleans, select for enums, text input for strings/integers, `$EDITOR` for complex/multiline types). The wizard produces a `Vec<KvAssignment>` — the same type that `--cfg KEY=VALUE` parsing produces — so its output feeds directly into the existing config pipeline. A confirmation step shows the collected values and the equivalent CLI command (normalised to the simplest flag form via alias reverse lookup and `CliRecord` reverse mapping from RFD 060), teaching users the CLI syntax over time. Implementation is planned in four phases: core loop and clap integration, `$EDITOR` escape hatch, polished field selector with documentation preview and visual markers, and finally equivalent-command output. Phases 1 and 2 deliver a functional wizard; phases 3 and 4 polish the experience. Signed-off-by: Jean Mertz <git@jeanmertz.com>
