Research direction

Review existing pipx commands like 'list' to understand how information is displayed. Study pipx's package metadata storage (likely in local venvs). Model the new 'show' command after pip show to retrieve and display package version, summary, license, and injected packages. Key files: commands/show.py and util.py for package info.
