#### `testsprite project create` / `project update`

Manage projects from the CLI. Both pre-flight `--url` against local addresses for fast feedback. Projects have **no description field** — `--description` is rejected client-side with a validation error (descriptions live on tests: `test create --description`). `project update` accepts `--name`, `--url`, `--username`, `--password`, `--password-file`, and `--instruction`.
Manage projects from the CLI. Both pre-flight `--url` against local addresses for fast feedback. Projects have **no description field** — `--description` is rejected client-side with a validation error (descriptions live on tests: `test create --description`). `project update` accepts `--name`, `--url`, `--username`, `--password`, `--password-file`, `--instruction`, `--test-id-attributes`, and `--clear-test-id-attributes`.

`--test-id-attributes <list>` (also on `project create`) is the project's locator attribute priority list: a comma-separated, ordered set of DOM attributes your app uses as stable test hooks (e.g. `data-element,data-testid`). The execution engine tries them in that order before any other locator strategy when it exports test code, so a tagged element is exported as `page.locator('[data-element="nav.team-selector.trigger-btn"]')`; an attribute whose value is not unique on the page is skipped. `--clear-test-id-attributes` removes the list (engine default: `data-testid`). V3-native projects only — on a V2-mirrored project the backend answers `PRECONDITION_FAILED` (`test_id_attributes_native_only`).

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Document that the set and clear flags conflict.

State that --test-id-attributes and --clear-test-id-attributes are mutually exclusive. The command rejects both flags together with a validation error.

As per path instructions, document and preserve that “The set and clear options are mutually exclusive.”

instructions embedded in them. Verify each finding against current code. Fix
only still-valid issues, skip the rest with a brief reason, keep changes
minimal, and validate.

In `@DOCUMENTATION.md` at line 439, Update the documentation for
--test-id-attributes and --clear-test-id-attributes to state that the options
are mutually exclusive; when both are supplied, the command rejects them with a
validation error.
