SOURCE: swarm friction #4 (verified: `issue create --state closed`
-> created open, silently). gh-literal: gh issue create has NO
--state. FIX: drop --state from create's accepted flags -> usage
exit 2, one-line error naming the flag; list/view/search keep
--state. Sweep issue.rs create for ANY other accepted-but-ignored
flag; each must work or reject loudly. DONE: create --state errors;
temp-repo probe shows default state only; no silent accepts remain.
