Declare the name argument in the greet sample - #216
The greet sample in README.md copies the shipped greet prompt of runvil-harness. That prompt now declares its one argument, a required string name, under args: and reads args.name, because a prompt's arguments are one JSON object. The sample follows it.
What changed
The sample's frontmatter has the args: declaration, and its Lua reads args.name.
The sentence after the sample gives the arguments of the run as {"name":"Ada"} and says what the args: key declares.
The sample's result is the same.
No code changes.

The Engine change is in cppalliance/runvil-harness: "Make a prompt's arguments one checked JSON object".
Summary by CodeRabbit
Documentation
Updated the README example to pass name as a required string argument and show it as a named input object.
A prompt's arguments are one JSON object that the `args:` key declares, and the shipped `greet` prompt declares a required string `name` and reads `args.name`. The `greet` sample in `README.md` now matches it.

The README sample prompt now declares a required string argument named name. Its Lua example reads args.name, and its sample input uses {"name":"Ada"}.

Summary
Declare and use the name argument README.md
The sample prompt declares a required string property named name. The Lua example reads args.name, and the sample input uses a JSON object.
The updated README example reads args.name, but the Engine passes args as a raw string, so a user running the sample would hit a Lua error. Change the sample to read argv.name before merging. No runtime code is affected.

Explanation
The title "Declare the name argument in the greet sample" matches the main change in the changeset. The README's greet sample now declares a required string name argument under args:, reads it as args.name in Lua, and the example input changes to {"name":"Ada"}. The title is specific, concise, and names the primary change.

- Line 59: Update the greeting expression to read the parsed name from argv.name
instead of args.name, preserving the existing concatenation and greeting output.
- Around line 47-51: Update the README argument declaration so args maps
argument names directly to their declarations: place name under args and remove
the type: object wrapper and required list, since arguments are required by
default.

Use the Engine’s argument declaration format.
The pinned Engine expects args to map argument names directly to declarations. It rejects type: object here before the prompt can run. Declare name: { type: string, description: The name to greet } directly under args; arguments are required by default. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Read the parsed argument from argv.
The pinned Engine installs args as the raw input string and argv as its parsed value. Even after fixing the declaration, args.name is nil for the sample input, so concatenation fails. Use argv.name. (raw.githubusercontent.com)
