unknown `f pr feedback` option: {token}

Error message

unknown `f pr feedback` option: {token}

What it means

The `f pr feedback` subcommand parses tokens positionally: known flags are matched, and any token starting with `--` that isn't recognized is rejected with this error. Only PR selectors (non-flag tokens) are accepted otherwise. It is an argument-validation guard against typos in option names.

Solutions

1. Check `f pr feedback --help` for the supported options and fix the flag spelling.
2. Remove the unrecognized flag and re-run.
3. Quote or fix the shell variable that expanded into the bad token.

Example fix

// before
f pr feedback --ful PR-123
// after
f pr feedback --show-full PR-123

const KNOWN = new Set(["--show-full", "--todos", "--no-todos"]);
const bad = tokens.filter(t => t.startsWith("--") && !KNOWN.has(t));
if (bad.length) throw new Error(`unknown option(s): ${bad.join(", ")}`);

try { await feedback(args); }
catch (e) {
  if (String(e).includes("unknown `f pr feedback` option")) {
    console.error("Check `f pr feedback --help` for valid flags");
  } else throw e;
}

When it happens

Trigger: Passing an unsupported flag to `f pr feedback`, e.g. a misspelled `--ful` instead of `--full`, or a flag belonging to another subcommand; scripting errors injecting extra flags.

Common situations: Typo in a long option (`--shw-full`), copying flags from `f pr` into `f pr feedback`, shell variable expanding into an unexpected flag token.
