Research direction

Start in Sources/removemacai/main.swift and compare argument validation in apply with the removemacai tweaks, features, clean, and off commands. Add short error messages and non-zero exits for the three cases described; done when each rejects the invalid arguments consistently with apply.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

bug good first issue

I noticed a few commands take arguments and then do nothing with them:

  • removemacai tweaks bogus and removemacai features extra ignore the extra word
  • removemacai clean --bogus treats --bogus as a tweak name instead of rejecting it as an option, which apply does
  • removemacai off --keep with no value says "unknown option --keep" instead of saying --keep needs feature names

Each of these should fail with a short message and a non-zero exit, the way apply handles an unknown option. All of it is in Sources/removemacai/main.swift.
