Research direction

Start by locating the DevTool component and its existing props, then inspect how its startup open state is set. Add the requested initialIsOpen option so consumers can choose the initial visibility, and verify that the default behavior remains unchanged.

Description

feature request

Hi,
Love RHF and I was happy to discover the existence of this DevTool!

Would it be possible to add an initlaIsOpen prop to have the devtools closed on startup and open it only when I need it? I didn't find any other way to do it.

I would be happy to make a PR to add this feature

Thank you!
