What does this PR do?

Adds one shared usage block to assessment-log.mjs, handles --help / -h before normal execution, and rejects unknown leading-dash arguments with the invalid flag and valid choices named. Add-subcommand value flags remain scoped to add, including ordinary values containing dashes.

The regression coverage exercises both help aliases, --sumary, a misplaced add-only flag, the existing add/summary path, and dash-containing values.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The CLI now provides shared usage output, supports --help and -h, rejects unknown flags, and preserves dash-prefixed option values. Integration tests cover these behaviors and existing add/summary operations.

Changes

CLI flag handling

Layer / File(s) Summary
Usage contract and error output
assessment-log.mjs
Shared known-flag definitions and usage text cover add, JSON output, summary, self-test, and help commands. Add errors print the full usage block.
Argument validation and regression coverage
assessment-log.mjs, test-all.mjs
Help aliases return usage output. Unknown leading-dash flags produce an error and usage output. Add values that begin with dashes remain supported.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 7e998

The change is localized, but one test path still relies on external DNS, which can make CI or local validation flaky when DNS is unavailable. The PR is mergeable with explicit owner awareness and test-isolation follow-up.

1191-1204: 🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Stub DNS for the public-request assertions.

runGuard('https://example.com/assets/logo.png') reaches validateUrlSecurity() with the default DNS resolver. This makes the test depend on external DNS availability.

Install setHostResolver() before the public-request assertions. Return a fixed public IP for example.com. Restore the resolver in finally. Keep the loopback response for ssrf-blocked-host.local.

Timing worth stating up front, @floze-the-genius, because it changes how this reads: you opened this on 13 Aug, and lib/cli-flags.mjs didn't land until 14 Aug 07:21. You couldn't have used a helper that didn't exist.

And here's the part that's actually a compliment. Your adjacency rule:

if (ADD_VALUE_FLAGS.includes(arg) && args[index + 1] !== undefined && !args[index + 1].startsWith('--')) {
  consumedValueIndices.add(index + 1);
}

and the one that shipped in the shared helper:

if (valueFlags.includes(a) && args[idx + 1] !== undefined && !args[idx + 1].startsWith('--')) {
  consumedValueIndices.add(idx + 1);
}

Same variable name, same -- (not -) test, same reasoning about a value that legitimately starts with a dash. Four people solved this independently and landed on the identical shape — which is exactly the argument #2778 made for putting it in one place.

So the one change I'd ask for: import validateFlags from lib/cli-flags.mjs instead of the inline block. Your subcommand case still fits — pass the flag set you already compute:

import { validateFlags } from './lib/cli-flags.mjs';

const valid = args[0] === 'add' ? [...KNOWN_FLAGS, ...ADD_VALUE_FLAGS] : KNOWN_FLAGS;
validateFlags(args, valid, USAGE, { valueFlags: args[0] === 'add' ? ADD_VALUE_FLAGS : [] });

It's not style. A fifth copy of this logic is a fifth place that drifts when someone fixes an edge case in one of them — and the --help --bogus ordering bug already had to be fixed twice in review before it was shared. Keep your USAGE block exactly as it is; that part is per-script and yours reads well.

Everything else stands: --help before execution, the error naming the offending flag AND the valid set, and the test coverage. Ping me when it's pushed.
