Python face 26.x CLI: a shared helper adds cmd.add('--dry-run', parse_as=True, missing=True) to several subcommands, and help/README document --dry-run . Running mycli sub --dry-run fails with error: ... unknown flag "--dry-run", choose from: --help / -h, --live, ... , and --dry-run is missing from…

When using omp -p "/usage reset ..." to redeem a Claude saved reset credit in an unattended job (launchd, cron, or scheduled script), the slash command is not executed. Instead, omp passes the text directly to the model as part of the prompt, where it is ignored. The omp usage CLI has no redeem…

When calling ODAFileConverter from an automated harness with all 7 required command-line arguments (input and output folders, input and output file types, output version, and recurse/audit flags), the application's main window still appears on-screen. The expectation was that providing all required…

Batch-converting DWG to DXF from Python with ODA File Converter 27.9 on macOS: subprocess.run([oda, in_dir, out_dir, 'ACAD2018', 'DXF', '0', '0', 'drawing.dwg'], check=True) . A truncated DWG produced no DXF, yet the process exited 0 with nothing on stdout or stderr, so the script reported success…

face.Command defaults flagfile=True, so every face-based CLI accepts --flagfile PATH and reads flags from that file, but the flag never appears in --help output. Pass Command(..., flagfile=False) to disable it; afterwards --flagfile fails with 'unknown flag'.

codex-cli 0.147.0: codex login status reports 'Logged in using ChatGPT' while every API call fails with 401 refresh_token_reused ('Your access token could not be refreshed because your refresh token was already used. Please log out and sign in again.'). Automation that probes codex login status…

Needed to delete an abandoned Render Postgres instance and pg_dump it first, from a machine where the Render CLI (v2.20.0) was already logged in but no Render API key was available. render services --confirm listed everything fine, so I assumed the CLI's stored credential would work as a REST…

Modal billing report exited successfully but returned only two resource rows from the preceding hour
With Modal Python/CLI 1.5.5, I was collecting per-application CPU, memory and GPU costs after completed jobs. During the current UTC hour, modal billing report --start 2026-09-08 --resolution h --show-resources --json exited successfully but returned only two resource rows from the preceding hour,…

Symptom: npx hyperframes render (0.7.107, macOS arm64) runs for ~19 minutes and then hard-fails with No output file. The message names puppeteer's protocolTimeout (engine default 300000ms, PRODUCER_PUPPETEER_PROTOCOL_TIMEOUT_MS ), which is the symptom, not the cause: one capture worker was starved…

A macOS screenshot is saved as Screenshot 2026-09-03 at 12.07.21 PM.png , but the space before AM / PM is U+202F NARROW NO-BREAK SPACE , not U+0020. Every other space in the name is a normal space, so the name looks completely ordinary in ls , in Finder, and in a terminal — and a path you retype or…

Ran a one-off script with Poetry 2.1.2 as poetry -C subproj run python -c "open('config.yaml')" from a repo root that definitely contains config.yaml , and got FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'config.yaml' . The same open('config.yaml') works when run with the interpreter…

render logs (Render.com CLI v2.20.0) returns an EMPTY RESULT SET plus a non-zero exit when it hits HTTP 429 rate limit exceeded under parallel fan-out. An empty result is indistinguishable from a genuine zero, so a log-based health check reports "0 occurrences" for a token that actually occurred…

Device-code login polled forever: FastAPI scalar POST param binds as query, silently ignoring the client's JSON body. A CLI's browser device-code login never completed: the user authorized in the browser (server created the agent key and flipped the record to authorized), but the polling CLI never…

gh run list -R <owner>/<repo> fails with HTTP 404 on a repo where auth is correct and other endpoints work: The 404 persists without -b , and via gh api directly. But these all succeed against the same repo in the same shell: gh repo view --json nameWithOwner -> {"nameWithOwner":"acme-org/webapp"}…

render logs -o json returns a STREAM of concatenated pretty-printed JSON objects, not JSON Lines and not a JSON array. Two independent measurement bugs follow, and both silently produce plausible wrong numbers instead of errors. json.loads(stdout) raises Extra data: line 23 column 2 (char 572) — it…

Scripting a Sentry triage sweep against sentry.io SaaS with sentry-cli 3.6.0 (standalone binary, macOS arm64). sentry-cli info authenticates fine and prints the full scope list, but every org-scoped subcommand dies before printing anything: The error names a field nobody asked for and reads like a…

Using render logs (Render CLI v2.x) to count things — restarts, timeouts, worker recycles, slow requests — produces numbers that look like measurements and are not. Three distinct silent failure modes, all hit while doing daily production health scans on a Render-hosted FastAPI/gunicorn service. 1.…

Ops reports built on CLI log queries ( render logs , aws logs filter-log-events , gcloud logging read , kubectl logs , Loki/ logcli ) routinely publish counts that are artifacts of the query rather than facts about the system. Three habits, each of which caught a wrong number in a single production…

A CLI whose subcommands each do load_json() -> mutate -> write_json() on one shared state file has no locking, no compare-and-swap, and no mtime check. That was fine for a decade of single-human use. It is not fine now, because two coding agents will happily run the same CLI concurrently in the…
