Description

I've noticed recently projectGenerator CLI is actually removing addons in the case they are not found.
It would be great to keep them or at least have a parameter to keep, so you still know which addons are needed even if you haven't cloned or moved to another folder before building the project.
Thank you

Research direction

Start by inspecting the projectGenerator CLI path that reads and rewrites addons.make, then reproduce a build with an addon that is not found. Determine the intended behavior from the issue discussion; done means missing addon entries are preserved, or an explicit keep option is defined and verified.
