request: azldev comp show-spec: read-only spec viewing #32

@reubeno

Description

@reubeno

Pain point: To inspect an upstream spec before adding overlays, you currently need to:

  1. Add a bare [components.<name>] entry to components.toml
  2. Run azldev comp prep-sources -p <name> --skip-overlays -o /tmp/inspect
  3. Read the spec
  4. Remove the temp entry

A dedicated read-only command would eliminate steps 1 and 4.

Proposed: azldev comp show-spec -p <name> — fetches and displays the upstream spec without requiring the component to be registered. Could also support --upstream-distro and --upstream-version flags.
