The
arduino-cli_compile_allActions job was failing during sketch preprocessing and library detection, before normal compilation began. The failure came from the SDCC wrapper not handling Arduino CLI's preprocess invocation shape correctly.Root cause
arduino-cliinvokes the wrapper in preprocess mode (-E) for generated sketch output and library detection.sketch_merged.cpp-MF ...libsdetect.dbeing passed through to SDCC as if it were a normal input/output argumentWrapper changes
