Too many positional arguments

Error message

Too many positional arguments

What it means

After assigning the first positional to HTML and the second to CSS, any remaining positional token is rejected. The script accepts at most two bare positional arguments.

Solutions

1. Convert the extras to flagged options (--html/--css) or remove them.
2. Quote/guard shell globs so they do not expand unexpectedly.
3. Move extra arguments after `--` only if they are truly meant as HTML/CSS content.

Example fix

# before
bun .../index.mjs '<div/>' '@import "tailwindcss";' extra
# after
bun .../index.mjs '<div/>' '@import "tailwindcss";'

// After assigning html/css from positionals, reject leftovers.
if (positional.length > 0) {
  throw new Error(`Too many positional arguments: ${positional.join(' ')}`)
}

When it happens

Trigger: Three or more positional tokens on the command line, e.g. `index.mjs a b c`.

Common situations: Forgetting to flag later arguments; a shell glob expanding into multiple tokens; passing extra args meant for another tool.
