Describe the bug
TanStack Start new project from CLI has loads of example code even when selecting no for option "Would you like to include demo/example pages?".
Your Example Website or App
https://github.com/pjosdev/ts-start-example
Steps to Reproduce the Bug or Issue
bun create @tanstack/start@latest
Select toolchain: ESLint
Select deployment adapter: Nitro (agnostic)
Would you like to include demo/example pages? No
What add-ons would you like for your project? none
Would you like to initialise a new git repository: Yes
Expected behavior
Something very barebones, just a __root.tsx that renders an index.tsx with maybe 'Hello TanStack Start'. No css theme, no fonts, no theme toggles etc. Basically nothing I need to remove to start clean would be great!

Research direction
The entry point is the bun create @tanstack/start@latest CLI flow; the issue does not name a source file or test. Reproduce it with the documented answers and trace the no-demo selection through project generation. Done means a no-demo project contains only the minimal starter, without example pages, styling, fonts, or theme toggles.
