Context

Agents pattern-match on tea/gh style (tea comment 420 "body") and try os-backlog comment 420 "text", which fails because the comment subcommand requires --body/--body-file. Seen repeatedly across sessions (screenshot reviewed 2026-08-16). Accept a positional body argument, keep --body/--body-file, and error only when more than one body source is given.

Origin

Trigger: haiku bookkeeping agent running os-backlog comment 420 "..." during /os-sdlc:implement #420 setup
Improvised this session: agent retried with --body after the CLI error; auto-memory note os-backlog-comment-requires-body-flag added
Chain: first-try CLI failure ← comment requires explicit --body flag ← DESIGN (plugins/os-backlog comment subcommand arg parsing)
Root candidate: this ticket

Resolution

Done: os-backlog comment now accepts a positional body argument; --body/--body-file unchanged; errors when zero or multiple body sources are given.

Evidence: Commit ce66705 on branch worktree-sdlc+420; comment_cli_test.rb 9 runs / 33 assertions green (red-first), full os-backlog suite 203 runs / 0 failures.

Follow-ups: Consider accepting a positional body for other body-taking subcommands (e.g. occurrence) if the same tea-style reflex bites there.
