Description

When using the CLI, this command runs succesfully but the build folder is deleted after the zip file is spit out: npx bsc --retainStagingDir=true --stagingDir ./build

When adding those two vars to my bsconfig.json file, the build folder is retained as expected but only when omitting those vars(npx bsc). Running the original CLI command from above will still delete the build folder

bsconfig.json

{
    "stagingDir": "build",
    "retainStagingDir": true
}

Research direction

Reproduce the issue with npx bsc --retainStagingDir=true --stagingDir ./build, then compare it with the bsconfig.json configuration shown in the report. Trace the CLI entry point and option handling to determine why the command differs from configuration-file behavior. Done means the staging directory is retained when both options are supplied on the CLI.
