Note: --gpt and --gemini are deprecated and ignored. Generat

Error message

Note: --gpt and --gemini are deprecated and ignored. Generated-UI tells now run by default.

What it means

The detect CLI warns on stderr that `--gpt` and `--gemini` are deprecated and ignored: generated-UI antipattern detection now runs by default for every scan, so the old opt-in model flags have no effect. The scan proceeds normally afterwards.

Solutions

1. Remove `--gpt` / `--gemini` from the command; generated-UI tells run automatically now.
2. Update scripts, Makefiles, and CI YAML that still pass these flags.
3. Nothing needs to be enabled — no replacement flag exists; rules are always on.

Example fix

// before
impeccable detect dist/ --gpt --gemini
// after
impeccable detect dist/

const dropped = ["--gpt", "--gemini"];
const args = process.argv.slice(2).filter(a => !dropped.includes(a));

When it happens

Trigger: Passing `--gpt` or `--gemini` on the `impeccable detect` command line, matched by `has(&args, "--gpt") || has(&args, "--gemini")`.

Common situations: Scripts written when generated-UI rules were opt-in via provider flags; docs or blog posts referencing the old flags; CI pipelines that still pass `--gpt --gemini` expecting extra rules to be toggled.
