Greptile Summary

This PR refines the create-storybook CLI by updating baseGenerator in code/lib/create-storybook/src/generators/baseGenerator.ts to conditionally include '@chromatic-com/storybook@^4.0.0-0' only when the test feature is enabled.

• Modified baseGenerator logic to check for test feature before installing the VTA package.
• Complements a prior check that removes unsupported test configurations.
• Inline TODO on semver range update is flagged for future review.
