Description

It's relatively common for AI models to run some linting or formatting using tools that aren't available in the current project directly through commands like bunx, npx, etc.

I think it would be logical to support the commands that are already supported by RTK when they are called through these package managers.

I guess something like that could also exist for Python or Rust packages as well.

E.g.,:

TOP UNHANDLED COMMANDS -- open an issue?
----------------------------------------------------
bunx tsc                   107    bunx tsc --noEmit --strict scripts/lib..

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the list of unhandled commands and implement support for popular package manager wrappers (bunx, npx, pnpx, pnpm dlx). Trace the command handling logic in the RTK codebase to add these as recognized commands.
