Subject: [PATCH] post_create: skip the install hint when deps already
 installed

The 'pnpm install' next-step is redundant when the LiveKit CLI already ran
the install task during `lk agent init --install`. Move it into a guarded
subtask that is skipped when LIVEKIT_DEPS_INSTALLED is set (the CLI sets it
on a successful install), matching the existing status-guard pattern used for
LIVEKIT_AGENT_NAME and LIVEKIT_SANDBOX_ID.
