Subject: [PATCH] fix(templates): guard realpath() return in with-cloudflare-d1
 isCLI check

On Cloudflare Workers, process.argv entries don't correspond to real files,
so realpath() returns undefined and the subsequent .endsWith() call throws a
TypeError on every request. Add optional chaining to skip non-existent paths
when detecting the payload CLI.
