Description
🌈 Feature
What is this feature?
Add devDependencies UI to the tree, like we have for regular dependencies. This should also help mitigate sync issues that frequently break sandboxes, as the need for doing underhanded updates from the terminal using cli tools would be diminished.
Comments
I loved the UI for updating dependencies... it saves a lot of time, versus having to search NPM to find the latest version and information about it.
Sidenote: You have tons of tooling on top of package.json, making the IDE slow when editing package.json... please wait till I save, or fix the performance issues... I suspect thread blocking, yes I have autosave disabled.

Research direction
Start by locating the existing regular-dependencies UI for the tree and the package.json handling mentioned in the issue. Extend that flow so devDependencies are visible and manageable in the tree, then verify that updates no longer require terminal CLI tools and that package.json editing remains responsive.
