Why add the explorer as a runtime dependency in this PR?

cdk-explorer is the name of my whole package, that has both the LSP and the web side. so its a runtime dep now because cdk lsp needs startServer from the LSP code to run.

Editors and AI agents start a language server by running a command over stdio,
but the CDK Language Server (in
@aws-cdk/cdk-explorer) has no such entrypoint. This adds one, so any LSP-capable editor or agent can get CDK
diagnostics and CodeLens by pointing at
cdk lsp.Wires up
cdk lspas a CLI subcommand that starts the server on stdin/stdoutand runs until the client closes the channel.
@aws-cdk/cdk-exploreras a runtime dependency so the server ships in the CLI bundle, version-aligned with the user's CDK toolchain.applicationDircomes from the LSPinitializeoptions, so the command takes no arguments.cdk explorewiring from feat: add web server scaffold andcdk explorecommand (#1578) #1598Fixes #
