Description
Validate that all hive-mind command line switches and their parameters are honored, implemented and the resultant configuration is displayed to the user. The configuration displayed to the user should be a complete set of all user settable configuration directives, even if the user did not specify a value for a configuration directive.
version: alpha-60

```
The following command line switches are ignored or misreported.
* `--queen-type` - I set to `--queen-type tactical` but is reported as `strategic`. Actual queen type used is unclear. `strategic` is implied in the transcript ` mcp__claude-flow__memory_store { "key": "hive/queen", "value": "strategic" } `
* `--topology` - I set to `mesh` but is reported and implemented as `hierarchical` as indicated by `● claude-flow - swarm_init (MCP)(topology: "hierarchical", maxAgents: 5, strategy: "specialized")` in the transcript.
The following outputs should be updated to accurately reflect all configuration directives, even is using the default settings for that directive.
missing worker-types, auto-spawn and topology

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start with the `hive-mind spawn` command and compare the command-line switches with the attached session transcript and resultant project output. Verify queen type, topology, worker types, auto-spawn, worker count, consensus, and monitor settings, then ensure the displayed configuration includes every user-settable directive with explicit or default values.
