Hi David,

Following up on your review:

V3 makes that change: the default is initialized before getopts, and only
-t changes the selection. An explicit empty -t still fails validation.
Both patches use Assisted-by: LLM, and patch 2 carries your Acked-by.

I have resent v3 at the start of this new thread from my Gmail address
after delivery problems with my previous address. The patches are rebased
onto current mm-unstable without changes, and the focused parser and VM
selection tests passed again.

Thanks for the review and the ack.
