multiple PR selectors provided. Use exactly one selector.

Error message

multiple PR selectors provided. Use exactly one selector.

What it means

`f pr feedback` accepts exactly one PR selector. During token parsing, if a second non-flag token appears after a selector has already been set, the parser bails with this error. Ambiguity between multiple selectors would be unresolvable, so it fails fast.

Solutions

1. Provide exactly one selector and re-run.
2. Quote arguments containing spaces: `f pr feedback "PR #42"`.
3. Remove the duplicated/default selector from the calling script.

Example fix

// before
f pr feedback 123 456
// after
f pr feedback 123

const selectors = args.filter(t => !t.startsWith("--"));
if (selectors.length > 1) throw new Error("exactly one PR selector required");

try { await feedback(args); }
catch (e) {
  if (String(e).includes("multiple PR selectors")) console.error("Pass exactly one selector");
  else throw e;
}

When it happens

Trigger: Invoking `f pr feedback` with two or more PR identifiers/URLs/branch names, e.g. `f pr feedback 123 456`; an unquoted string containing spaces being split by the shell into multiple tokens (e.g. `f pr feedback PR #42`).

Common situations: Pasting a PR title or URL with spaces without quoting; scripting that appends a default selector to a user-supplied one; passing both a number and a branch name.
