The --engine flag was passed before the "run" subcommand, causing lcitool to fail with "invalid choice: 'podman'". Move it to opts so the command is built correctly. lcitool container --engine podman run ... (wrong) This caused "invalid choice: 'podman'" errors because lcitool expected a COMMAND argument at that position. Fix by moving the --engine flag to opts array, which is added after the "run" subcommand, resulting in the correct command structure: lcitool container run --engine podman ... (correct) Error example: $ ./ci/helper run fedora-44 --job codestyle --engine podman usage: lcitool container [-h] COMMAND ... lcitool container: error: argument COMMAND: invalid choice: 'podman' (choose from engines, build, run, shell) The same error happens if "--engine" option is set to different than "auto" value.
