  "how": {
    "incantation": "When you need a session timeline but do not have a session ID, run `eas observe:session` interactively and choose an event name, sort order, then a candidate event. Set the candidate search with `--event-name`, `--sort`, and a time range if needed.",
    "examples": [
      "eas observe:session --event-name <event-name> --sort <slowest|fastest|newest|oldest> --days <number>",
      "eas observe:session --event-name <event-name> --sort <slowest|fastest|newest|oldest> --start <ISO-date> --end <ISO-date>"
    ],
    "gotchas": [
      "Version: v21.0.3",
      "--event-name <name>: Metric or user-defined event used to build the candidate list; prompts interactively if omitted.",
      "--sort <slowest|fastest|newest|oldest>: Orders candidate events. Prompts interactively if omitted. `slowest` and `fastest` apply to metrics; logs use `newest` or `oldest`.",
      "--days <number>: Limits results to the last N days; mutually exclusive with `--start` and `--end`.",
      "--start <ISO date>: Sets the start of an explicit time range; use with `--end`; mutually exclusive with `--days`.",
      "--end <ISO date>: Sets the end of an explicit time range; use with `--start`; mutually exclusive with `--days`.",
      "Prerequisite: Install EAS CLI, use an app already set up for EAS Observe, and authenticate with `eas login` from the project directory.",
      "Prerequisite: A logged-in EAS account with access to the project is required.",
      "Without a session ID, interactive selection is supported; non-interactive use without a session ID still errors.",
      "The event list shows up to 25 events.",
      "Docs conflict: The card says `--sort-order`; v21.0.3 source and current Expo docs name the flag `--sort`. The command accepts `--sort`, not `--sort-order`."

  "why_it_matters": "Inspect the session timeline for a selected event when working interactively without a session ID.",
