Josephine Pfeiffer d07fe356c7 fix(cli): add user feedback when opening config docs in browser
The config:docs command previously only logged 'Loaded config from
app-config.yaml' and silently attempted to open the browser, providing
no feedback about what was happening. This change adds clear console
output to indicate the browser is being opened and displays the URL.

This approach provides better user experience by:
- Showing users that the command is attempting to open their browser
- Displaying the full URL being opened for transparency
- Providing fallback instructions if the browser fails to open

Fixes #29512

@backstage/cli

This package provides a CLI for developing Backstage plugins and apps.

Installation

Install the package via Yarn:

yarn add @backstage/cli

Development

For local development the cli can be used directly, even from other packages in this repo. The bin/backstage-cli entrypoint contains a switch that will load the implementation from the src directory when executed inside this repo.

To run the cli in watch mode, use yarn start <args>. For example yarn start lint --help.

To try out the command locally, you can execute the following from the parent directory of this repo:

./backstage/packages/cli/bin/backstage-cli --help
