A --color flag holds something other than auto, always or never, or nothing.

Area 14, Tools; not declinable; the next step is usually the agent's.

Why Jadpo refuses it

--color sets whether output is coloured, and every command takes it. A value it doesn't know could mean either, so it is refused rather than guessed.

What it looks like

The value is one it doesn't take:

shell
jadpo check --color=yes
jadpo check

error yes isn't a colour setting

reason
--color takes auto, always or never.
next
Use --color=auto, --color=always or --color=never (agent)
rule
cli.presentation_arguments
help
https://jadpo.dev/docs/errors/cli.presentation_arguments

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

How to fix it

If you want colour even when the output is piped, use always:

shell
jadpo check --color=always

With auto, the default, colour is used only in a terminal; never turns it off.
