Description

Must do

  • Properly open AppMap files that contain spaces
  • Generate the hyperlink with the full path to the AppMap
  • AppMap files recorded with CLI show up in the left hand column with their name and not as an 'Untitled AppMap' file
  • Command available in QuickStart docs

Nice to have

  • Clean up the styling and visuals on the command line - add spacing, colors etc
  • Enable the user to make another recording from the same session
  • Add telementry
  • Link the install and record experiences (in Both the project picker and CLI ) so that the user doesn't have to go to the docs

Research direction

Start by locating the record command implementation and the QuickStart documentation. Work through the required checklist first: handle AppMap paths with spaces, generate full-path links, preserve recorded names in the left column, and document the command; verify each behavior manually or with the existing project checks.
