Looks like it's because `spectacle --edit-existing` is broken now.

For me, it works fine. It looks like the problem is that annotation tools are not shown by default, not that it's fundamentally broken. You should still be able to edit an existing image, it's just that there are extra steps in the UI between showing the existing screenshot and adding annotations.
