Research direction

Start by inspecting main, where argument parsing and subsequent error checking are currently handled. Identify every argument and validation path, then add tests for them and consider extracting the logic into a separate function. Done means parsing and error behavior are covered by tests.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Easy/Simple

All arguments parsing and further error checking on them needs to be tested (we could probably extract all argument parsing and checking from main to a separate function).
