Describe the bug
When trying to enable the --debug-dump-tree option, the call fails with an uncaugt TypeError. E.g.
python miss_hit_core/mh_style.py --debug-dump-error output.txt miss_hit.m
produces

Traceback (most recent call last):

Edit:
Everything works when disabling multi-threading with the --single option. Since this creates a viable workaround, I'm wondering whether requesting --debug-dump-tree should simply lead to disabling multi-threading by default and call it a day?

That might be a good idea. I am not sure why the two options should interfere though, could be a latent bug. I'll look into it.
