Problem
adapt-authoring-adaptframework eagerly imports adapt-cli at the top of four source files:
lib/AdaptFrameworkBuild.jslib/AdaptFrameworkModule.js
Because adapt-cli transitively pulls in bower (~1.7s), inquirer (~2.6s), and download (~1.4s), this adds ~6.6 seconds to every server startup — even though these dependencies are only needed during build/install operations.

Proposed fix
Convert the top-level import AdaptCli from 'adapt-cli' statements to dynamic await import('adapt-cli') at the call sites. This defers the heavy dependency tree until a build or CLI command is actually executed.
Measured improvement: 6602ms → 25ms import time.
