Unknown Nasiko status argument: ${argument}

Error message

Unknown Nasiko status argument: ${argument}

What it means

Thrown by parseStatusArguments when an argument is neither --json, --install-dir, nor that flag's value. The status subcommand accepts no other options, so anything else is rejected as unknown.

Source

Thrown at scripts/nasiko.js:96

Solutions

1. Remove or correct the unrecognized input; run the command with --help to list valid arguments/commands.

When it happens

Trigger: Triggered when nasiko.js rejects the current invocation: Unknown Nasiko status argument: <value>

Common situations: Occurs while running scripts/nasiko.js with invalid arguments, missing flags, or a failing external dependency; the guard at scripts/nasiko.js:96 aborts the command with this message.
