pause-point: clear-pause-point should accept --file/--line or name the --id form in NextActions #2551

Description

@hatayama

Observed (usability feedback round 27)

clear-pause-point accepts only --id / --all, while enable-pause-point and pause-point-status accept --file + --line. Passing --file returns:

"Message": "Unknown option for clear-pause-point: --file",
"NextActions": ["Run `uloop clear-pause-point --help` to inspect supported options."]

The tester needed an extra --help round trip (severity 4/10, 2 round trips). A related case: pause-point-status --captured-variables without --id/--file --line answers "NextActions": ["Correct the command arguments and retry."] while the Message already states the exact requirement.

Proposal

Either accept --file + --line on clear-pause-point and build the <file>:<line> id internally, or at minimum make the unknown-option NextActions say Pass --id "<file>:<line>" (the id returned by enable-pause-point) or --all. Align the pause-point-status NextActions with its Message.

    Third recurrence: round 29 (minecraft tester) hit the identical clear-pause-point --file unknown-option path, again noting that other commands answer with "Did you mean" while this one only points at --help. Severity 4/10, two round trips.

    Recurred in usability feedback round 36: all three testers hit Unknown option for clear-pause-point: --file (2 round trips each). Fifth round in a row. Now scheduled for implementation in the round-36 fix round.

    Fixed by #2585 (squash e32591c): clear-pause-point accepts --file/--line.
