I agree that this step is looking pretty good now.

I didn't check closely, but when 1/3 undergoes necessary polishing,
it may have repercussions on this step, though (I did see that the
change in 3/3 would have overlaps with what was touched by 1/3 that
needs to be done differently).

Thanks for guiding Rohit's series forward.

That size_t is, eh, "unusual".  For an index into a small local
array of known size, just sticking to bog-standard-and-boring 'int'
would make it less distracting for future readers of the code.

Or even better, perhaps use argv-array, so that you do not have to
worry about sizing the local array sufficiently large in the first
place.
