Description
If I forget to specify the app with --app or REPLICATED_APP environment variable, I get a Not found error. It makes sense because the server returns 404, but it's confusing. I always have to think a little before figuring out what happened. It'd be great if it could specifically say the app name is missing.

Research direction
Start at the CLI entry point that handles --app and the REPLICATED_APP environment variable, then trace the missing-app request to where the generic Not found error is produced. Done means the missing-app case reports that the app name is required instead of only showing the server's 404 message.
