Description

Upon review of Cypress documentation under the "cypress app" section if you pass the flag of "--browser", "--component", or "--e2e" you can bypass the launchpad and go straight to the spec page. Here is the wording and a link.

Once you get comfortable with Cypress you might find you don't need the Launchpad any more. In this case [you can run cypress open with the --browser and --component or --e2e options](https://docs.cypress.io/guides/guides/command-line#cypress-open) to go straight to the Specs page.

Docs

I saw a thread from Nov 2023 noting this was not possible. After testing using these args in the command this is true and launchpad still opens. Would be good to update the documentation if this is not a bug and proper to avoid more people spending time trying to debug something documented which is not possible.
