--scenario must be one of ${Array.from(scenarios).join(", ")

Error message

--scenario must be one of ${Array.from(scenarios).join(", ")}

What it means

Post-parse validation in harness-subagent-rpc-audit. opts.scenario must be one of the four audit scenarios the script knows how to drive — async-steer, parallel-research-code, reuse-parent-comm, or all — and anything else is rejected before any RPC or workspace work happens.

Solutions

1. Use exactly one of: async-steer, parallel-research-code, reuse-parent-comm, all
2. Check `-h` output for the current scenario list if the script was recently updated

Example fix

# before
node scripts/debug/harness-subagent-rpc-audit.mjs --scenario parallel-research

# after
node scripts/debug/harness-subagent-rpc-audit.mjs --scenario parallel-research-code

const SCENARIOS = new Set(["async-steer","parallel-research-code","reuse-parent-comm","all"]);
const s = process.env.AUDIT_SCENARIO ?? "all";
if (!SCENARIOS.has(s)) { console.error(`scenario must be one of ${[...SCENARIOS].join(", ")}`); process.exit(2); }

const SCENARIOS = new Set(["async-steer","parallel-research-code","reuse-parent-comm","all"]);
function isScenario(v) { return typeof v === "string" && SCENARIOS.has(v); }

When it happens

Trigger: Passing a scenario name that does not exist (`--scenario parallel-research`), a renamed scenario after a script update, or leaving a placeholder value in a templated command.

Common situations: Script revised and a scenario renamed; the value silently swallowed from a different flag; tab-completion guessing.
