Missing --id. Available corpora: ${sources.map(source => sou

Error message

Missing --id. Available corpora: ${sources.map(source => source.id).join(', ')}

What it means

The taxonomy script always targets a single corpus (there is no `--all`). Without `--id` it throws, listing the available ids from `corpora/sources.json`.

Solutions

1. Add `--id=<corpusId>` using one of the ids printed in the message.

Example fix

// before
bun run scripts/corpus-taxonomy.ts
// after
bun run scripts/corpus-taxonomy.ts --id=ja-kumo-no-ito

if (id === null) {
  console.error(`Missing --id. Available corpora: ${sources.map(s => s.id).join(', ')}`)
  process.exit(2)
}

When it happens

Trigger: `bun run scripts/corpus-taxonomy.ts` with no `--id` flag.

Common situations: First-time use; a wrapper that drops the id; assuming `--all` exists here as it does in the sweep.
