Unsupported local provider smoke profile: ${profile}

Error message

Unsupported local provider smoke profile: ${profile}

What it means

After expanding selected --profile values, parseProfiles verifies each expanded profile is a member of PROFILE_IDS. Any unrecognized profile name throws this error listing the offending value. This runs after the flag-shape check (error 110), so the flag was well-formed but the value was wrong.

Solutions

1. Use an exact profile id from PROFILE_IDS in run-local-provider-smoke.mjs (e.g. runner-acpx-claude).
2. Use `--profile all` to run every supported profile.
3. Repeat the --profile flag instead of comma-separating: `--profile a --profile b`.

Example fix

// before
pnpm smoke:local-provider -- --profile claude-code
// after
pnpm smoke:local-provider -- --profile all

const PROFILE_IDS = ['runner-acpx-claude']; // from script source
for (const p of myProfiles) if (!PROFILE_IDS.includes(p) && p !== 'all') throw new Error(`bad profile ${p}`);

When it happens

Trigger: `pnpm smoke:local-provider -- --profile runner-foo` where runner-foo is not in PROFILE_IDS, or `--profile all,typo` style comma values (each comma-joined string is treated as one profile name).

Common situations: Guessing a profile name instead of checking the catalog, using a profile that exists in another eval script but not this one, or passing comma-separated values where the script expects repeated flags.

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.
