Subject: [PATCH] feat: Improved the CLI user interface to suggest generating a
 complexity report if it is missing, instead of showing an error. (#1043)

* feat: fix CLI UI error when trying to display non-existent complexity report

* chore: fix git issue

* chore: run format

* Update .changeset/thick-squids-attend.md
