How did you run Cute Chess exactly?

Tournament with cli

/.../cutechess/projects/cli/cutechess-cli -variant fischerandom -event Ara-FairySF-rapid -rounds 5  -games 2 
-engine name=MultiAra dir=/.../Cutechess-Tournaments/Engine/ cmd=MultiAra 
-engine name=FairyStockfish dir=/.../Engines/fairy-stockfish/ cmd=fairy-stockfish
-each proto=uci tc=0/10+0.1 -debug

Expected behavior

I expect that cutechess sends:

setoption name UCI_Variant value fischerandom
setoption name UCI_Chess960 value true

Or I expect:

setoption name UCI_Variant value chess
setoption name UCI_Chess960 value true

Actual behavior

setoption name UCI_Variant value chess960

Steps to reproduce the behavior

Open the GUI, select 1 engine, select new game, select fischerandom, observe what cutechess sends to the engine

• To me this seems inconsistent. I would like that cutechess sends the variant to the engine, that has been set. Also, I think it would be good if the UCI_Chess960 flag would be set in any case.
• I think it cannot be expected that the engine correctly processes a variant name that the user did not set and the engine might not know.
• For example fairy-stockfish does not work with cutechess at the moment, which can be seen here Illegal move after opponent castles in chess960 fairy-stockfish/Fairy-Stockfish#318
