Research direction

Start by locating the command parser and the handling for a missing flag json file. Review any existing parser tests or command-parsing entry points before adding the lightweight heuristic described in the issue. Done means arguments with a - prefix can be recognized as flags while other arguments remain operands when no flag json file is available.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

A command missing a flag json file will conservatively assume all arguments are operands. The parser can be extended to have some lightweight heuristics (e.g., consider all arguments with a - prefix as flags).

This can be useful to correctly parse more commands without additional effort.
