What happens during generation

The CLI loads the selected base template (templates/base-web/)
Resolves the preset (presets/blank.json or presets/dashboard.json)
Resolves modules based on your CLI options (e.g., db-pg, billing-stripe, ai-dx-cursor)
Validates dependency graph and detects conflicts
Applies file overlays and token replacements
Writes a launchframe.json manifest describing what was installed
Optionally runs pnpm install and seeds demo data
