Load command file when generating README during scaffold

Copilot · swissspidy · Copilot · commit 38026ac3f4cb · 2026-01-14T23:19:57.000Z
When wp scaffold package creates a new package, it now explicitly loads the command file (hello-world-command.php) before calling package-readme. This ensures the command is registered in WP-CLI so it can be properly documented in the generated README.
