The script header comment that documents the AGENTS env var subset is out of date relative to ALL_AGENTS (and now misses cline, roo, etc.). Update the documented agent list so users can correctly scope builds via AGENTS=....

The supported agents list includes Cline now, but the --ai option list below still omits cline, so the docs are inconsistent. Please add cline to the --ai list (and consider keeping the Notes column empty rather than leaving placeholder spacing).

The header comment mentions the supported agents, but the separate “Agent types:” list a few lines below is now stale and missing multiple supported values (e.g., roo, cline, codebuddy, amp). Update that list to match what the script actually accepts to avoid confusing users.

This error message’s expected agent list is missing codebuddy, even though codebuddy is handled in the case statement above. Update the expected list so the guidance matches the actual supported agent types.

This issue also appears on line 756 of the same file.

The --ai help text is a manually maintained list of agents and is already diverging from other sources of truth (e.g., README). Consider generating this string from AGENT_CONFIG.keys() (or a shared constant) so new agents like cline don’t require updating multiple places and the CLI help stays accurate.

See below for a potential fix:

# Build dynamic help text for the --ai option from AGENT_CONFIG, if available.
AI_ASSISTANT_HELP = "AI assistant to use"
if "AGENT_CONFIG" in globals() and isinstance(AGENT_CONFIG, dict):
    try:
        _agent_names = ", ".join(sorted(AGENT_CONFIG.keys()))
        if _agent_names:
            AI_ASSISTANT_HELP = f"AI assistant to use: {_agent_names}"
