Somewhat related: I would like to mention that you can get at nearly anything mentioned on the "context" command line from within your document, by using \getdocumentargument and \doifdocumentargument .
https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/getdocumentargument On the lua side, these arguments are in the “document.arguments” table, see file-job.lua for details. Anything that starts with —c: on the luatex command line as seen from the "mtx-context | run <nr>:" line can be accessed this way, it does not have to be a known option to the mtx-context script. So you could e.g. do context —idcode=whatever mydoc and then you could do \getdocumentargument{idcode} in the document source. I know you do not need that, but it may be helpful for other people doing automated typesetting runs.
