🐛 Known Issues & Bugs to Fix

Critical Issues

  • Currency Flag Parsing Issue
    • The --currency flag is not working properly
    • Currency value remains "U$S" even when different currency is specified
    • Affects both --rates and calculation outputs
    • Root cause: Flag parsing or variable assignment issue

Minor Issues

  • Help Flag Conflict Resolution

    • Had to disable default help command due to -h shorthand conflict
    • Now using -? for help, may not be intuitive for all users
    • Consider alternative shorthand for hours flag

  • Flag Validation

    • Need better validation for currency format
    • Should validate supported currency codes
    • Add warning for unsupported currencies

🔧 Technical Improvements
