There was a problem hiding this comment.
Off-topic change: A couple of scripts were passing through the unused parser argument which was creating hassle for tests.
* The flags module contains global variables, generally considered an anti-pattern. * We're down to the last flag, add a note to discourage the addition of any new ones!
* Support for running workflows defined by `suite.rc` files was removed in Cylc 8.7 (cylc#7325) * However, Cylc 8 remains `suite.rc` "aware" in order to allow the GUI, Tui and CLI to list and operate on workflows running under older versions. * A version has been set for the removal of this support in line with cylc#7274.
