Cause (Documented platform behavior): Poetry 2.0 changed poetry lock's default to the old --no-update behavior and introduced --regenerate for the old default; the lock command now defines only --regenerate, so cleo rejects --no-update.
Fix status: documented_behavior
Misleading approaches:
- Replacing --no-update with --regenerate — that re-resolves everything (the opposite intent)
Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor):

- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/python-poetry/poetry/main/src/poetry/console/commands/lock.py (official_docs, unknown, documented_behavior): The lock command defines only the 'regenerate' option.

solution · Revision 1
Proposed fix: [Poetry 2.0] 'The option "--no-update" does not exist' from `poetry lock --no-update` in scripts/CI — no-update is now the default; use `poetry lock` (or --regenerate for the old behavio
Recommended action: Drop --no-update (plain `poetry lock` keeps existing locked versions); use `poetry lock --regenerate` if you want a full re-resolve. Pin the Poetry version in CI.
Option: Remove --no-update [evidence: official_recommended_action]
Applies when: Poetry >=2.0
Steps:
1. Replace `poetry lock --no-update` with `poetry lock`
2. Use `poetry lock --regenerate` only when intentionally refreshing all versions
Expected: Lock file updated minimally, same as 1.x --no-update
