Invalid ${source}: conflicting duplicate ${axis} policy

Error message

Invalid ${source}: conflicting duplicate ${axis} policy

What it means

The same policy axis (approval or sandbox) is specified more than once in the launch args with different values. setDirectPolicyValue only allows repeating a flag if the value is identical (idempotent).

Solutions

1. Remove the duplicate so each axis is set once
2. If re-declaring, use the identical value
3. Use the merge/override API instead of concatenating raw arg strings

Example fix

# before
'--approval auto --approval never'
# after
'--approval auto'

const seen = new Map<string, string>();
for (const { axis, value } of policyFlags) {
  if (seen.has(axis) && seen.get(axis) !== value) throw new Error('conflict');
  seen.set(axis, value);
}

When it happens

Trigger: Args containing e.g. both '--approval auto' and '--approval never', or a -a short form conflicting with the long form.

Common situations: Inherited leader args already set a policy and the env var tries to override it with a different value; concatenating arg lists naively.
