feat(create): cleaner client template

[dor-chaouat]

Note

Description

This PR simplifies the backend-and-client template by removing the pre-built task management demo app and replacing it with a minimal "Hello World" starter. This provides a cleaner starting point for new projects without opinionated example code that users would need to remove anyway.

Changes Made

• Removed task management demo app from App.jsx and replaced with minimal "Hello World" component
• Deleted shadcn/ui components: Button, Checkbox, Input, and Base44Logo
• Removed components.json shadcn configuration file
• Deleted Base44 entity and agent definitions for task management (task.jsonc, task_manager.jsonc)
• Removed lucide-react dependency from package.json
• Simplified index.css by removing shadcn/ui CSS variables (retained Tailwind base styles)
• Net result: -283 lines of code, providing a much cleaner starting template

Testing

• I have tested these changes locally
• I have added/updated tests as needed
• All tests pass (npm test)

Additional Notes

This change improves the developer experience for the backend-and-client template by providing a clean slate. Users can now start with a simple "Hello World" app and add their own components and functionality without needing to delete example code first. The template still includes all necessary Base44 setup and Tailwind CSS configuration.
