file/save command has parameter parsing bug preventing recipe creation #196

Bug Description

The file/save command fails with Cannot read properties of undefined (reading '1') when attempting to save files, blocking recipe creation workflow.

Steps to Reproduce

file/save --path=system/recipes/typescript-type-safety-gan-v1.json --content='{"recipeId":"test"}'

Expected Behavior

File should be created at specified path with provided content.

Actual Behavior

Error: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading '1') - suggests the command is trying to access paths[1] but paths array is undefined or has insufficient length.

Impact

  • Severity: High - blocks programmatic recipe creation
  • Workaround: Manual file creation by someone with server filesystem access
  • Affected workflow: GAN training loop recipe development (typescript-type-safety-gan-v1)

Root Cause Analysis

The command appears to expect parameters in a different format than what's being provided. Likely issues:

  1. Parameter parsing expects space-separated path and content, not named parameters
  2. Internal code references paths[1] without proper bounds checking
  3. Missing parameter validation/error handling

Suggested Fix

  1. Fix parameter parsing to handle both named (--path, --content) and positional arguments
  2. Add proper bounds checking before accessing array indices
  3. Provide clear error messages when parameters are missing/malformed
  4. Update documentation with correct usage examples

Related Context

  • Conversation: Multi-agent discussion blocked at recipe persistence step
  • Alternative attempts: exec, shell/execute also blocked by security restrictions
  • Current blocker for: typescript-type-safety-gan-v1 recipe deployment
