invalid --platform-type %q, want feishu or lark

Error message

invalid --platform-type %q, want feishu or lark

What it means

normalizeFeishuPlatformType validates the --platform-type flag for feishu setup. An empty value is allowed (defaults later), but any value other than "feishu" or "lark" (case-insensitive, trimmed) throws this error naming the offending input.

Solutions

1. Use --platform-type feishu or --platform-type lark (case-insensitive).
2. Omit the flag entirely to accept the default.
3. Fix typos; check the value printed in %q in the error against the two accepted strings.

Example fix

// before
cc-connect feishu setup --platform-type larksuite
// after
cc-connect feishu setup --platform-type lark

pt := strings.ToLower(strings.TrimSpace(platformType)); if pt != "" && pt != "feishu" && pt != "lark" { return fmt.Errorf("invalid --platform-type %q", pt) }

When it happens

Trigger: Running `cc-connect feishu setup --platform-type something` where something is not feishu/lark, e.g. "Feishu CN", "larksuite", "feishu-lark", or a typo like "feish".

Common situations: Users copying flags from other platform setups; assuming "larksuite" or a region suffix is valid; trailing punctuation from copy-paste is trimmed but a stray word is not.

Understand the failure class

Background: Invalid enum value errors: "Unknown type", "Invalid scope", "must be one of" — when a string is not on the library's allowed list — this error's family across 23 libraries.
