Research direction

Start by tracing createMain and how it invokes a command's run method. Check how the returned value is currently handled, then verify that awaiting the created API command with rawArgs: [] produces the value returned by run, such as "hello".

Description

Describe the feature
import { createMain, defineCommand } from 'citty'

const command = defineCommand({
	//...
	async run() {
		return Promise.resolve("hello")
	}
})

const apiCommand = createMain(_rDefault(command))
 
const value = await apiCommand({
	rawArgs: []
})
console.log(value) //=> "hello"
