pj b44077afde replay ui fix (#56)
* refactor: rename inspect to replay across the codebase

Renames inspect-ui/ to replay-ui/, internal/inspect/ to internal/replay/,
the CLI subcommand from `sanderling inspect` to `sanderling replay`, and
updates all references in docs, Makefile, README, and Go comments.

* feat(replay-ui): show spec filename with full path on hover

RunList and RunDetail now render the basename of spec_path (e.g.
login.spec.ts) with the full path available as a title tooltip.

# Getting started
Install the CLI, run a spec.
## Prerequisites
**Android / iOS:**
- An Android emulator with API level 30 or newer (or a connected device).
- `adb` on your PATH.
**Web:**
- Chrome installed. sanderling drives it via CDP; no other setup required.
Run `sanderling doctor` to check the host environment.
## Install
### CLI
```sh
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/priyanshujain/sanderling/master/install.sh | bash
```
### Spec package ([npm](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@sanderling/spec))
```sh
npm install --save-dev @sanderling/spec
```
## Your first run
The repo ships two sample apps. `examples/folio` is a Kotlin Multiplatform personal-ledger app that covers Android, iOS, and web (wasmJs) from one shared codebase. `examples/folio-web` is a smaller React + Vite app that covers only the web path. Both carry a TypeScript spec under `sanderling/spec.ts`. Install `just`, then pick a target below.
### Android
From `examples/folio`:
```sh
just install # build and install the folio APK on a booted emulator or device
just test # run the spec
```
With no device connected and multiple AVDs, pick one:
```sh
AVD=Pixel_7 just test
```
Persistent settings can live in a `.env` alongside the justfile (`AVD=Pixel_7`, `DURATION=5m`, and so on).
### iOS
From `examples/folio` (requires Xcode 16+ and `xcodegen`):
```sh
just test-ios # default simulator: iPhone 17 Pro
IOS_DEVICE="iPhone 15" just test-ios # pick a different simulator
```
`just test-ios` boots the simulator if needed, builds and installs the app, then runs `sanderling test --platform ios`.
### Web
From either example. For the KMP wasmJs build, use `examples/folio`:
```sh
just web # serve the wasmJs app on a webpack dev server
```
For the React + Vite build, use `examples/folio-web`:
```sh
just test # starts the Vite dev server, then sanderling drives Chrome via CDP
```
No emulator or SDK setup needed for either web path.
### Trace output
When the run ends, the trace lands in `sanderling/runs/<timestamp>/`:
```
runs/2026-04-18T12-34-56/
├── trace.jsonl
├── screenshots/
└── meta.json
```
Browse it with `sanderling replay` (see [replay](./replay/)), or read `trace.jsonl` step by step.
Next: [writing specs](./writing-specs/).
