fix: Map short options in generate command to prevent silent exit

[nayrbryanGaming]

This PR addresses a bug in the rc-apps generate command where using the shorthand -o flags (a, b, or c) resulted in the CLI exiting silently without providing an error or generating the requested boilerplate files.

This has been resolved by mapping the valid single-character inputs from flags.options back to their full category equivalents before evaluating the switch block. This significantly improves the developer experience by ensuring boilerplate templates generate as expected when using the CLI arguments.

Changes Made

• Updated src/commands/generate.ts to map the short-letter options (a, b, c) to the categories array strings.
• • Added a new unit test in test/commands/generate.test.ts to verify the execution of valid and invalid shorthand flags.

Pull request overview

Fixes rc-apps generate -o <value> so that shorthand option values (a, b, c) are mapped to the command’s full category strings before the switch executes, preventing a no-op/silent completion when using valid shorthand flags.

Changes:

• Map -o a|b|c to Api Extension / Slash Command Extension / Settings Extension in generate command execution.
• Add CLI tests intended to cover valid/invalid shorthand option values.
• Update package-lock.json with additional "peer": true metadata for some packages.

File	Description
src/commands/generate.ts	Adds shorthand-to-category mapping before the option switch.
test/commands/generate.test.ts	Adds regression tests for shorthand option values (currently not asserting the fix’s behavior).
package-lock.json	Adds "peer": true flags for several existing dependencies.

The shorthand mapping uses two parallel arrays (['a','b','c'] and categories) and relies on them staying in sync by index. To avoid future mismatches when categories change, prefer a single explicit mapping (e.g., a record keyed by the short option) or switch directly on the short values.

Suggested change

	if (option) {
	const index = ['a', 'b', 'c'].indexOf(option);
	if (index !== -1) {
	option = categories[index];
	}
	const shorthandMap: { [key: string]: string } = {
	a: categories[0],
	b: categories[1],
	c: categories[2],
	};
	if (option && shorthandMap[option]) {
	option = shorthandMap[option];

The new test cases exit during FolderDetails.readInfoFile() when app.json is missing, so they don't exercise the new shorthand mapping logic (the code that maps 'a'/'b'/'c' to category strings runs after readInfoFile). Consider adding a fixture (e.g., temp cwd with a minimal app.json + classFile) so the command reaches the switch block, and assert on an observable effect (generated file path, invoked prompt, or expected error message for invalid option).

This test only checks for exit code and doesn't assert on stdout/stderr content, so it may pass even if the command silently exits again. Adding an assertion on the expected error output (invalid flag value) and/or a side effect for the valid shorthand case would make this regression test meaningful.
