What gets generated

Every scaffolded project contains:

• Runnable source for the chosen backend (and optional frontend/native)
• A language-appropriate Dockerfile if you picked that addon
• A .polystack.json metadata file recording every choice (for future tooling)
• Initialized git repo (unless --no-git)
• Installed dependencies using your chosen package manager (unless --no-install)
