Description

Pass as much app identifying info as possible throughout mas to improve output, especially for ephemeral info, errors & warnings.

Include the exact app ID specified on the command line. Include whatever salient app identifying info might also be available, e.g., command-line app ID, maybe ADAM ID, maybe bundle ID, name, path, etc..

Maybe use FoundApp<A: App> or SelectedApp<A: App> (app: A, query: AppQuery) tuple with:

enum AppQuery { // maybe selector: AppSelector
  case lookup(AppID)
  case search(for: String)
}

Research direction

Start by tracing how the command-line app ID flows through mas lookup and search operations into output, errors, and warnings. Review the proposed FoundApp/SelectedApp and AppQuery shapes, then consider the work complete when the exact command-line ID and other available identifiers remain available throughout those paths.
