Flag Migration

The 2026-07 overhaul standardized flag names across every command group. Old spellings keep working throughout v3 — they are hidden from --help and print a one-line deprecation notice on stderr — and will be removed in v4.

Renames

Old	Canonical	Where
--format <fmt>	--output <fmt>	runtime topics create|apply|eval|revert, redteam targets backup
--output <file>	--output-file <file>	runtime bulk-scan, runtime resume-poll, runtime topics sample, redteam prompt-sets download, redteam targets init
--input <file>	--file <file>	runtime bulk-scan
--page / --size	--limit / --offset	all runtime dlp list commands
--page / --page-size	--limit / --offset	runtime scan-logs query
--confirm	--force	redteam eula accept

Note on topics create: the old --format terminal value is accepted as a synonym for --output pretty.

Note on pagination: the DLP and scan-logs APIs are page-based, so --offset rounds down to a page boundary (page = floor(offset / limit)).

Conventions going forward

• --output <pretty|table|csv|json|yaml> always means format (some commands support a subset).
• File destinations are --output-file; directories are --output-dir.
• Input files are --file; input directories are --input-dir.
• Pagination is --limit/--offset everywhere.
• Destructive confirmation bypass is --force everywhere.

Newly added

• --output pretty|json|yaml on redteam prompts list|get, redteam instances get, redteam registry-credentials
• --limit/--offset (client-side) on redteam prompt-sets|properties|targets list
