[BUG] onFlowStart hook is unable to reference appId

[zcsteele]

Description

During the "onFlowStart" hook, the 'launchApp' command cannot reference the default appId configuration value.

Steps to Reproduce

Sample flow:

appId: com.google.android.deskclock
onFlowStart:
  - launchApp
---
- extendedWaitUntil:
    visible:
      id: "digital_clock"

Expected Behavior

The clock app should launch when the test case starts

Actual Behavior

The clock app never launches

Environment

• OS: macOS 26.2
• maestro-runner version: 1.1.12
• Executor: uiautomator2
• Device/Simulator: Observed with both android emulator (Pixel 3a API 34) and real device (Pixel 8a)

Additional Context

If the flow is modified to instead launch the app as a command, the clock app launches and the test case passes:

appId: com.google.android.deskclock
---
- launchApp
- extendedWaitUntil:
    visible:
      id: "digital_clock"

@zcsteele Thanks for flagging this, we'll take a look.

I've added a PR that resolved the issue with my local build of maestro-runner, any other thoughts/pointers would be appreciated.
