Research direction
The issue requests a debug flag and dry run flag for Antigen's 'antigen bundle' command. The expected output shows debug messages during plugin installation. To implement, start by identifying the main bundle function in the codebase (likely in lib/antigen.bundle.zsh or similar). Add a global debug flag, modify output functions to conditionally print messages when debug is enabled. For dry run, simulate actions without executing them. Test with the given example. See also the linked Trello card for additional context.
