Description

It will be useful to install/show helm chart pre releases from a helm repo. Using helm from the commandline pre releases are also not shown or installed. Adding the --devel it will show or install pre releases. It would be nice to have a switch to show the pre releases or not like for example in rancher. rancher

Research direction
Study the current Helm chart listing implementation in the Lens codebase, particularly the UI component that displays available charts and the underlying Helm command execution. Identify where the devel flag can be added conditionally based on a user toggle. Implement the toggle in the UI and pass the flag to the Helm process. Ensure the feature works for both installation and display of pre release charts.
