Unsupported --gpu=${value}. Use on, off, auto, or a comma-li

Error message

Unsupported --gpu=${value}. Use on, off, auto, or a comma-list.

What it means

Thrown by the apphang repro harness when --gpu is given an invalid mode or is empty. The flag accepts a comma-separated list of 'on', 'off', 'auto' modes, each run as a separate terminal GPU acceleration scenario.

Solutions

1. Use a single mode or comma-list from the set {on, off, auto}, e.g. --gpu=on,off.
2. Run with --help to confirm accepted modes.

Example fix

// before
node config/scripts/repro-windows-apphang-terminal-activation.mjs --gpu=high
// after
node config/scripts/repro-windows-apphang-terminal-activation.mjs --gpu=on,off,auto

const GPU_MODES = ['on', 'off', 'auto']
const modes = (value ?? '').split(',').map(s => s.trim()).filter(Boolean)
if (modes.length === 0 || modes.some(m => !GPU_MODES.includes(m))) {
  throw new Error(`Unsupported --gpu=${value}. Use ${GPU_MODES.join(', ')}, or a comma-list.`)
}

function isValidGpuList(value) {
  const modes = String(value ?? '').split(',').map(s => s.trim()).filter(Boolean)
  return modes.length > 0 && modes.every(m => ['on','off','auto'].includes(m))
}

When it happens

Trigger: Passing --gpu=high, --gpu=on,off,wrong, or --gpu= (empty after trimming). The parser splits on comma, trims, filters empties, and rejects if any token is not in ['on','off','auto'].

Common situations: A developer passes a GPU mode name that does not match Electron's allowed values, or forgets the value entirely.
