fix: case-insensitive arguments.#42
Conversation
- Normalize arguments to lowercase before comparison so that --codec-CPU etc. will still be accepted as valid flags instead of being silenlty ignored.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🔴 Critical | ⚡ Quick win
Case-insensitive short options create collisions and dead code.
Lowercasing all dash-prefixed arguments introduces critical logic errors for short options that rely on case sensitivity:
-M(Metal) is lowercased to-m, colliding with--modelat line 166.-H(Host) is lowercased to-h, colliding with--helpat line 234.-P(Port) is lowercased to-p, which skips the condition chain entirely.
Additionally, comparisons like arg_lower == "-M" and arg_lower == "-H" become dead code because arg_lower will never contain uppercase letters after the transformation.
To fix this while keeping long options case-insensitive, restrict the lowercase transformation to flags longer than 2 characters. This correctly preserves standard short flags like -M, -H, and -P.

‼️ IMPORTANT
Carefully review the code before committing. Ensure that it accurately replaces the highlighted code, contains no missing lines, and has no issues with indentation. Thoroughly test & benchmark the code to ensure it meets the requirements.
