Feature Request

Add a dry-run mode to the deployment scripts that prepares the environment without launching Docker Compose services.

Description

The dry-run mode should:

• Create all necessary directories
• Populate the .env file according to the configuration
• Perform all setup tasks that start-clp.py does
• Stop before launching Docker Compose

This would allow users to manually inspect or customize the generated environment before starting their deployment.
