Descrizione
## Summary
`gh stack view` accepts no positional argument, but supplying one is silently discarded instead of rejected. The harmful case is passing a **valid stack number that isn't the current one** — you get a different stack's contents, with that stack's number in the header, and no indication your argument was ignored.
On a branch belonging to stack #6, asking for stack #3 (which exists):
```
$ gh stack view --short 3
Stack #6 <-- rendered #6, not the #3 that was requested
├ stack-b-two ○ #5
» stack-b-one ○ #4 (current)
└ main
$ gh stack view --short garbage999
Stack #6 <-- also silently succeeds
├ stack-b-two ○ #5
» stack-b-one ○ #4 (current)
└ main
```
Exit status is 0 in both cases.
## Why this matters
The output carries a stack number in its header, so it reads as authoritative. Anyone comparing two stacks — or scripting against `view` — can act on the wrong one without any signal. It is also a natural mistake to make, because `gh stack checkout` *does* take a stack number, so the two commands look like they share a selector.
## Reproduction
In a repo with two stacks:
```bash
git switch
gh stack view --short # shows stack B
gh stack view --short garbage999 # shows stack B
```
Public repo with two stacks set up for this: https://github.com/xn/gh-stack-repro
## Expected
Either error with `unknown argument "3"` (the usual `gh` behaviour for unexpected positionals), or accept a stack selector here the way `gh stack checkout` does. The latter would also give a non-interactive escape hatch for the ambiguity in #415.
## Environment
- `gh` 2.97.0
- `gh-stack` v0.1.0
- git 2.50.1
- macOS 26.4.1, darwin/arm64

Inizia dall’analisi degli argomenti del comando `gh stack view` e riproduci i due comandi dell’issue, incluso il loro stato di uscita e il relativo output. Verifica come `gh stack checkout` gestisce un numero di stack, quindi aggiungi test per gli argomenti posizionali validi e non validi. Il lavoro è completato quando il comando non li ignora più silenziosamente: deve rifiutarli in modo chiaro oppure supportare in modo coerente la selezione di uno stack.
