Addition of a --dev-watch cli arg so that when working on add-ons you can continually scaffold an app when changes are detected - add --dev-watch cli arg e.g. --dev-watch ./frameworks/react-cra - add --no-install cli arg - skips install deps. Needed so we aren't installing deps when package.json doesn't change in --dev-watch

@jherr how do you feel about this part in particular?
I need to re-initalize the framework when files change. My thought was it's a bit messy to do the registration step + pass initalizers. Perhaps just pass initalizer functions and then have them run by in the CLI
- Replace emoji-based logging with cleaner tree-style output - Add visual hierarchy for build progress and file changes - Show inline diffs with proper indentation - Reduce visual noise while maintaining all important information - Create silent environment for initial app creation to avoid duplicate output
- Add comprehensive guide for using the --dev-watch feature - Include example workflow with real command examples - Document auto-rebuild and live reload capabilities - Update pnpm-lock.yaml after merge
