Invalid " ". Use .

Error message

Invalid ${flag} "${raw}". Use ${format}.

What it means

parseKeyValueOption is the shared helper behind --name-override/--secret-value/--adapter-override: it rejects any option token whose first '='-delimited segment (the key) is empty, i.e. malformed key=value input.

Solutions

1. Reformat the flag value to the expected format shown in the error.
