…ates to EJS Convert add-on README, env, and demo files to EJS templates so they can use package-manager-aware commands (e.g. npx/bunx/pnpm dlx) via the new getPackageManagerExecuteScript template helper.
…uteCommand Rename translateNpxCommand to translateExecuteCommand and extend it to recognize all known execute-command formats (npx, bunx, pnpx, pnpm dlx, yarn dlx, deno run npm:*). This ensures add-on commands specified in any format are correctly translated to the user's chosen package manager.

Pull request overview
This PR standardizes “package manager execute” commands across the create flow and add-on templates, so external/add-on commands authored in various formats (npx, bunx, pnpm dlx, yarn dlx, deno run npm:*) can be translated to the user’s chosen package manager and rendered consistently in generated files.
Changes:
- Added
translateExecuteCommandto normalize/translate execute-style commands and applied it when running add-on/starter commands. - Added
getPackageManagerExecuteScriptEJS helper and migrated various add-on docs/env/demo templates to use it. - Added/expanded tests for execute-command translation and the new EJS helper.

Summary
Currently, add-on commands only work correctly when specified as
npx. If a custom or external add-on uses a different format (likebunx,pnpx,pnpm dlx, etc.), the command passes through untranslated — which breaks things for users on a different package manager.This PR fixes that by:
translateExecuteCommandfunction that recognizes all common execute-command formats (npx,bunx,pnpx,pnpm dlx,yarn dlx,deno run npm:*) and normalizes them to whatever package manager the user chosegetPackageManagerExecuteScriptEJS template helper so add-on templates can also emit the right execute commandnpxNon-execute commands (like
node script.jsorpnpm install) pass through unchanged.Test plan
