the deprecation page is the page to watch.

💡 Result:

<search_synthesis>
The command updatecli manifest upgrade is used to upgrade Updatecli manifest files [1]. Based on the official documentation, the --in-place flag instructs the tool to write the updated manifest back to the original file rather than outputting the results to stdout [1]. Regarding your specific command, updatecli manifest upgrade --in-place --save, please note that the --save flag is not listed as a valid or recognized option for the updatecli manifest upgrade command in the current official documentation [1]. The available flags for this command are --config (-c), --in-place (-i), --labels, and --pipeline-ids [1]. Using an unsupported flag may result in an error. To upgrade your manifest in-place, the correct usage is: updatecli manifest upgrade --in-place [1]

Use the supported flag for in-place upgrades.

cmd/manifest_upgrade.go registers --in-place but does not register --save. Replace --save with --in-place; otherwise Cobra rejects the command's unknown flag.
