     Suggestion: Create test file: test/ctu.test.mjs
     Example:
       // Test for ctu command
       import { runLocalCitty } from '../src/core/runners/local-runner.js'
       
       test('ctu command works', async () => {
         const result = await runLocalCitty(['ctu', '--help'])
         result.expectSuccess()
       })
