Confirmation ' ' does not match target company. Expected ID…

Error message

Confirmation '${confirm}' does not match target company. Expected ID '${company.id}' or prefix '${company.issuePrefix}'.

What it means

The --confirm value matched neither the target company's id nor its issuePrefix (case-insensitive), so assertDeleteConfirmation rejects the deletion as aimed at the wrong company.

Solutions

1. Pass --confirm with the exact company ID or issue prefix shown in the error.
