🎯 Use case

This file lives under β€œutils/”, which covers cross-cutting helpers (shell, tempfiles, settings, messages, process input, …). On the API surface it exposes getRecordFilePath, _resetRecordingStateForTesting, getSessionRecordingPaths, renameRecordingForSession, and flushAsciicastRecorder (and more) β€” mainly functions, hooks, or classes. Dependencies touch Node filesystem and Node path helpers. It composes internal code from bootstrap, bufferedWriter, cleanupRegistry, debug, and envUtils (relative imports).

Generated from folder role, exports, dependency roots, and inline comments β€” not hand-reviewed for every path.
