clockwork-labs-bot 476d15755e spacetime dev - Replace template selection with fuzzy-filterable menu (#4470)
This pull request updates the template system to support richer metadata
and improves the interactive CLI experience for selecting templates. The
main changes are the addition of a `client_framework` field to template
metadata, a refactor of the templates JSON generation and parsing, and a
redesign of the interactive template selection flow to group templates
by language/framework and use fuzzy search for easier navigation.

**Template Metadata and Serialization Improvements:**

* Added a new `client_framework` field to all template metadata files
(e.g., `.template.json`) and updated the Rust structs (`TemplateInfo`,
`TemplateDefinition`, etc.) to support this field, enabling more
descriptive and flexible template selection.

* Refactored the templates JSON generation to use `serde` for
serialization, replacing manual string building, and ensured that
optional string fields serialize as empty strings when not present.

**CLI Interactive Template Selection Redesign:**

* Removed the previous "highlights" concept and reworked the interactive
selection to group templates by language/framework combinations, showing
counts and using fuzzy search for easier filtering.

* Updated the selection menus to allow users to pick a
language/framework group, then choose from multiple templates if
available, or opt to clone from GitHub or select "None."

* Improved language label formatting for better user experience in the
CLI prompt.

**Codebase Cleanup and API Changes:**

* Removed unused highlight-related structs and logic from the CLI,
simplifying the template fetching API to return only templates.

* Updated all template selection logic to use the new API and data
structures.

These changes make template selection more intuitive and scalable as
more templates and frameworks are added.
