Merged
Conversation
Show shortened trace ID as a dashboard hyperlink in the trace detail header instead of the full trace ID as plain text. Hoists the link computation so it is shared between the empty-trace and normal paths.

Pull request overview
Updates the aspire traces --trace-id detail output to render the trace ID as a terminal hyperlink to the Dashboard trace detail page, using a shortened (7-char) ID for display.
Changes:
- Compute a shortened trace ID and format it via
TelemetryCommandHelpers.FormatTraceLink(...). - Use the formatted trace link in both the “no spans found” and normal trace detail header paths.
- Remove the previous header behavior that displayed the full trace ID as plain bold text.
