fix(create): make scaffolded intent install work with bun

[cfngc4594]

Fixes #512

bunx @tanstack/intent install at the end of create is broken on Bun. It runs the intent shim from @tanstack/devtools instead of the real CLI, so you get "TanStack Intent configured" plus AGENTS.md never exists.

Even if you force the real package, Intent 0.4.0 now refuses to write guidance unless package.json#intent.skills is already set (it wants a TTY on first run).

This does two things, both in line with how we already call shadcn@latest:

• invoke @tanstack/intent@latest so bunx doesn't grab the local stub
• write intent.skills: ["@tanstack/*"] if it's missing, so install can finish without a prompt

Reproduced with bunx @tanstack/cli@latest create (React, biome, nitro, no examples).

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The create flow now seeds intent.skills before installation when needed and invokes @tanstack/intent@latest. Tests cover disabled Intent and enabled setup with package configuration.

Changes

TanStack Intent setup

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Seed Intent skills configuration packages/create/src/edge-create-app.ts, packages/create/src/integrations/intent.ts	When package.json exists without intent.skills, the create flow adds ['@tanstack/*'] and preserves other Intent fields.
Install the latest Intent package packages/create/src/package-manager.ts, packages/create/tests/integrations/intent.test.ts	INTENT_PACKAGE now uses @tanstack/intent@latest. Tests cover disabled Intent and enabled setup with the written skills configuration and queued install command.

Explanation

The change satisfies the first two requirements in issue #512. INTENT_PACKAGE is @tanstack/intent@latest in packages/create/src/package-manager.ts. setupIntent writes package.json.intent.skills as ['@tanstack/*'] before installation in packages/create/src/integrations/intent.ts. The new Bun test covers both changes. The change does not satisfy the requirement to report success only after Intent succeeds and therefore cannot ensure the configuration files are written. createDefaultEnvironment.execute catches command failures and returns { stdout: '' }, while setupIntent always finishes with TanStack Intent configured after packageManagerExecute returns. A failed install can still leave AGENTS.md and CLAUDE.md absent.

Resolution

Propagate the Intent command failure through the environment or return an explicit success status. Update setupIntent to emit TanStack Intent configured only after a successful command. Add tests for the failed-command path and the resulting status or warning.

267-281: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Cover the edge-specific Intent setup. edge-create-app.ts exports createApp, and the edge test invokes it with intent: false and install: false. The enabled Intent test imports only src/integrations/intent.ts, not the private edge helper. No test therefore covers the edge path's package.json mutation or write-before-Intent-install ordering. A regression in that duplicated helper could pass. Add an edge-flow test with Intent enabled and existing intent fields, then assert preservation, mutation, and ordering.
