+1. Copies the bundled template (Vite + React Router + shadcn + `@davepi/ui-react`). Lock files are filtered out so the scaffolded project picks its own package manager — npm by default, matching the davepi backend.
 2. Rewrites `package.json` — pins `@davepi/ui-*` deps to the published versions matching this scaffolder, sets `private: true`, drops upstream repo metadata.
 3. Writes `.env` with `VITE_API_URL`.
-4. Runs `pnpm install` (unless `--no-install`).
