flag.unknown

Code or a test's flags: names a flag that flags { } doesn't declare.

Area 16, Built-in services; not declinable; the next step is usually the agent's.

Why Jadpo refuses it

Every flag is declared once, in flags.jadpo, so Jadpo knows every place that reads one. A misspelt name would otherwise read nothing: the branch it guards would never switch on, and no error would say why.

What it looks like

checkout_steps reads flags.new_chekout, and the flag is new_checkout:

type CheckoutSteps = Int {    min: 1    max: 3}flags {    new_checkout: Bool {        default: false        owner: "payments"        expires: "2099-01-31"    }}action checkout_steps() -> CheckoutSteps {    if (flags.new_chekout) {        return 1    }    return 3}

   |15 |     if (flags.new_chekout) {   |         ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ no such flag

(agent) at the end of the next: line means your coding agent can make the fix itself.

A test's flags: naming a flag no one declared is refused the same way, with nothing near enough to suggest:

type CheckoutSteps = Int {    min: 1    max: 3}flags {    new_checkout: Bool {        default: false        owner: "payments"        expires: "2099-01-31"    }}action checkout_steps() -> CheckoutSteps {    if (flags.new_checkout) {        return 1    }    return 3}test "the new checkout takes one page" {    flags: {        one_page_checkout: true    }    assert checkout_steps() == 1}

   |23 |         one_page_checkout: true   |         ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ no such flag

How to fix it

If the flag is declared under another name, use that name:

    if (flags.new_checkout) {        ...    }

checkout_steps now reads new_checkout, so it takes one page wherever the flag is on.

If the flag doesn't exist yet, declare it in flags { } with its default:, owner: and expires::

flags {    one_page_checkout: Bool {        default: false        owner: "payments"        expires: "2099-01-31"    }}

The test now gives one_page_checkout the value true, and everyone else gets false until the flag is changed.
