Fix --reset flag regression: skip spurious TOML selection prompt before link flow

[timothytenzin20]

Bug

shopify app dev --reset spuriously prompts TOML file selection before the reset flow (org → app → config name). The selected TOML is immediately discarded.

Issue: shop/issues-develop#22531

Root Cause

Regression introduced by #6612 ("Remove legacy app schema", merged Mar 2026). Commit 1f8dcceaec ("Simplify code") merged the forceRelink and !isLinked branches back together, undoing a prior fix from #5676 (Apr 2025) which fixed #5653 by separating the forceRelink path so it skips config state loading.

getAppConfigurationContext() is called unconditionally before checking forceRelink. When the cached config file doesn't exist on disk, it calls selectConfigFile(), prompting the user to pick a TOML — even though forceRelink will discard the result.

Fix

Separate the two paths so forceRelink skips getAppConfigurationContext() entirely and calls link() directly:

if (forceRelink) {
  const result = await link({directory, apiKey: clientId})
  remoteApp = result.remoteApp
  // load config context from link result
} else {
  // load config context first, then link if not linked
}

Test

Added test verifying getAppConfigurationContext is only called after link() when forceRelink is true (using invocationCallOrder tracking).

All 12 tests pass ✅

Thanks for the PR! The fix makes sense, but I think something is not working. I'm still getting the config prompt when running pnpm shopify app info --reset after deleting the current TOML and having multiple ones.

I think what's missing is to avoid it from link. In 04-08-fix_reset_spurious_toml_selection_prompt_2 I added the missing pieces. Still have to review and test more, but it seems to work. Feel free to add here the changes from there if you want.

This is for the users, I think it's too technical. I'd simplify it to something like Avoid config prompt when using --reset flag
