+Fix `setup`, `setup-github-actions`, `meta`, and `scaffold` failing with "No templates directory found" / "Meta-skills directory not found" in the published package. `getMetaDir` hardcoded `../../meta`, which is correct for the `src/commands/` source layout but overshoots to `@tanstack/meta` from the flat `dist/` layout the build ships. Walk up to the first `meta/` directory instead so resolution works in both layouts (and symlinked installs).

+ * Resolve the package `meta/` directory by walking up from `startDir`.

+ * The CLI module sits at `src/commands/` in source but is bundled flat into

+ * package root differs between the two layouts. A hardcoded `..` count is
+ * correct for only one of them and breaks `setup` / `meta` / `scaffold` in the
+ * other. Walking up to the first `meta/` directory handles both layouts (and
+ * symlinked installs such as pnpm) without depending on the build output
+ * depth. Falls back to the historical `../../meta` resolution if no `meta/`
+ * is found, so behaviour is never worse than before.
