both --app-id and --app-secret are required

Error message

both --app-id and --app-secret are required

What it means

After resolving the --app pair form, resolveFeishuSetupInputs checks that if either --app-id or --app-secret is present, both are. Supplying only one half would produce an unusable app credential, so the parser rejects it explicitly before mode resolution.

Solutions

1. Pass both flags together: --app-id X --app-secret Y
2. Verify the missing half is non-empty in the calling script (echo/printf to check interpolation)
3. Use the combined form --app id:secret instead

Example fix

// before
cc-connect feishu setup --app-id "$APP_ID"   # APP_SECRET not passed
// after
cc-connect feishu setup --app-id "$APP_ID" --app-secret "$APP_SECRET"

if [[ ( -n "$APP_ID" || -n "$APP_SECRET" ) && ( -z "$APP_ID" || -z "$APP_SECRET" ) ]]; then echo "both app-id and app-secret required" >&2; exit 1; fi

When it happens

Trigger: `cc-connect feishu setup --app-id cli_xxx` (secret missing) or `--app-secret xxx` (app id missing). Often the other half was expected from env/config but was not picked up by this parser.

Common situations: Secrets kept out of shell history and passed via env vars that this command does not read, copy-paste truncation of the secret, or a script where the second flag failed to interpolate.
