Describe the problem

I need to upload precompiled binaries but I am facing the following issue:

To reproduce

$ arduino-cli upload --port /dev/ttyUSB0 --fqbn Heltec-esp32:esp32:heltec_wireless_stick_lite_V3 --input-file /path/to/my/precompiled/files//lora_lte_node_V2.15_v1_40MHz.bin`

usage: esptool write_flash [-h] [--erase-all]
                           [--flash_freq {keep,80m,60m,48m,40m,30m,26m,24m,20m,16m,15m,12m}]
                           [--flash_mode {keep,qio,qout,dio,dout}]
                           [--flash_size {detect,keep,256KB,512KB,1MB,2MB,2MB-c1,4MB,4MB-c1,8MB,16MB,32MB,64MB,128MB}]
                           [--spi-connection SPI_CONNECTION] [--no-progress]
                           [--verify] [--encrypt]
                           [--encrypt-files <address> <filename> [<address> <filename> ...]]
                           [--ignore-flash-encryption-efuse-setting] [--force]
                           [--compress | --no-compress]
                           <address> <filename> [<address> <filename> ...]
esptool write_flash: error: argument <address> <filename>: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/path/to/my/precompiled/files/lora_lte_node_V2.15_v1_40MHz.bootloader.bin'
Failed uploading: uploading error: exit status 2

Note how the filename differs in the error and in the command I used. If I copy the file to a new name to add the missing "bootloader" part that arduino-cli expects (and keep the file with its original name alongside the new one too), then it tries to add this suffix again (i.e., "bootloader.bootloader") when I try to upload with the new name, or keeps failing to find a suitable file even if I try to upload with the old name.

What am I doing wrong?

Expected behavior

The supplied binary filename should be used to upload to the board.
