CLI: Add support to create recordings via the CLI #1007

Description

Feature Request

Add support to start, stop, and export Simulator recordings directly via RocketSim's CLI.

Today, RocketSim already provides excellent recording capabilities (video + GIF), but triggering them requires the UI. Exposing this through the CLI would unlock automation use cases.

Example usage

rocketsim record start --output ./recordings/demo.mp4
rocketsim record stop

Optional flags worth considering:

  • --format mp4|gif
  • --device <udid>
  • --duration <seconds> for fixed-length captures
  • --quality <low|medium|high>

Why

  • Generate demo videos and GIFs for marketing/docs as part of CI
  • Capture reproductions automatically when tests or AI agent runs fail
  • Script consistent recordings across multiple Simulators

Requested by Eslam via X.
