unknown sentry-test arg: {other}

Error message

unknown sentry-test arg: {other}

What it means

`sentry-test` accepts exactly `--message <text>`, `--panic`, and `-h`/`--help`; every other token falls into the catch-all arm and is rejected with its literal text. The parser does exact-string matching, so equals-joined forms (`--message=hi`) and typo'd flags (`--msg`) both land here rather than being interpreted.

Solutions

1. Run `openhuman sentry-test --help` and use only the listed flags
2. Use the space-separated form: `--message "text"` and/or `--panic`
3. Remove stray positional arguments — sentry-test takes subcommand-style flags only

Example fix

# before
openhuman sentry-test --message=hi
# after
openhuman sentry-test --message hi

# bash: whitelist the only tokens sentry-test understands
case "${1:-}" in
  --message|--panic|-h|--help) ;;
  "") ;;
  *) echo "unsupported sentry-test flag: $1 (use --message <text> | --panic | --help)" >&2; exit 2 ;;
esac

When it happens

Trigger: `openhuman sentry-test --message=hi` (equals form not supported); `--msg "text"` (typo); a stray positional argument like `openhuman sentry-test test`.

Common situations: Muscle memory from tools that accept `key=value` flags; renamed or guessed flag names; leftover positional arguments in scripts.
