Research direction
Start with the log --target command implementation and controller.py around line 436, then reproduce the failure using a nightly after 3 August or version NFD_DEV_260804_A9. Trace how root-controller/df-controller is handled and verify that the command no longer emits the target-prefix errors in the df-controller log.
