If user not specify script name for devbox run command - it list all available commands

$ devbox run

Available scripts:
* release
* build
* deploy_latest
* test

I would like to see an interactive menu for select script with previews, for example this is screenshot from ni
image

Additional context
Not very important but nice to have

    I built a devbox plugin that does this while waiting for native support: runpick.

    It lists the scripts from your devbox.json in an fzf picker with a preview pane showing each script's command, then runs the one you choose with devbox run.

    runpick demo

    Add one line to your devbox.json:

    {
  "include": ["github:Luckystrike561/runpick/tags/1.0.0"]
}

    Then run:

    devbox run pick

    The plugin brings its own jq and fzf, so nothing needs to be installed globally. It works from any subdirectory of the project.

    Happy to help if the team wants to bring something like this into devbox run itself.
