Error message

You can not specify both "--id" and "--all". Choose one or the other.

What it means

Usage exception from 'bin/harbormaster rebuild-log'. The --id flag selects a single log and --all selects every log, so passing both is ambiguous (--all already includes the single log). The workflow enforces mutual exclusivity and aborts before running any queries.

Solutions

1. Remove --all and keep '--id 42' to rebuild exactly one log
2. Or remove --id and keep --all to rebuild every log
3. Make wrapper scripts pass exactly one of the two flags (xor logic), never both

Example fix

# before
$ bin/harbormaster rebuild-log --id 42 --all
# after
$ bin/harbormaster rebuild-log --id 42

# shell wrapper: exactly one of --id / --all
if [ -n ${LOG_ID:-} ] && [ ${REBUILD_ALL:-0} -eq 1 ]; then
  echo 'error: --id and --all are mutually exclusive' >&2
  exit 1
fi

When it happens

Trigger: Running 'bin/harbormaster rebuild-log --id 42 --all'.

Common situations: A wrapper script that always passes --all and conditionally appends --id; command lines assembled by combining examples from two different runbook entries.
