Description

I've noticed npm and yarn cache packages used by init/create commands. How do we ensure the latest version is always used?

Changing the command to use create-extension@latest may work but needs further investigation.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how npm and yarn cache packages and verify if using '@latest' ensures the latest version is always fetched. Test by creating a sample extension with and without '@latest' and compare cached versions.
