Description

argparse makes it easier to provide help/documentation on the command line and also provides choices, default and type

It also returns an object rather than a dict. There are currently arg options scattered throughout the code which are not mentioned in arguements.py

Contributor guide

Research direction
Study the current argument handling in arguments.py and other files, then design a migration plan to replace custom arg parsing with argparse, ensuring help messages, choices, defaults, and types are properly defined.
