    "incantation": "If deploying a Worker entry point or static asset directory, pass its path positionally to `wrangler deploy` or `wrangler versions upload`; Wrangler treats it as the entry point or assets directory. For directory deployments, the release note says the positional path avoids an interactive confirmation prompt.",

    "gotchas": [
      "Version: 4.98.0",
      "[PATH]: Path to a Worker entry point or static assets directory. Required for a Worker when the Wrangler config has no `main` key. For static assets, overrides configured assets and is equivalent to `--assets`.",
      "--assets <directory>: Folder of static assets to serve; equivalent to passing the assets directory as the positional path.",
      "--script: Release note says this option is hidden and deprecated, remains for backwards compatibility, and accepts file paths only.",
      "`--script` remains available for backwards compatibility but only accepts file paths.",
      "Passing a directory to `--script` produces an error suggesting the positional `path` argument or `--assets` flag.",
      "Docs conflict: Current Wrangler docs say positional asset paths work only in interactive mode, conflicting with the release note's statement that directory deployment avoids an interactive confirmation prompt. Current docs may describe a newer version: https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers/wrangler/commands/workers/"
