Missing --id or --all. Available corpora: ${sources.map(sour

Error message

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

What it means

The sweep needs a target: either one corpus via `--id=` or all corpora via `--all`. Without either it throws, listing the available ids read from `corpora/sources.json`.

Solutions

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

Example fix

// before
bun run scripts/corpus-sweep.ts
// after
bun run scripts/corpus-sweep.ts --id=ja-kumo-no-ito
// or sweep every corpus
bun run scripts/corpus-sweep.ts --all

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

When it happens

Trigger: `bun run scripts/corpus-sweep.ts` with no targeting flags.

Common situations: First-time use; forgetting the flag after adding a new corpus; a wrapper script that drops the id argument.
