WHY are these changes introduced?

The dev store commands under shopify store were the only place calling them "development stores". app dev, the --store flag help, and the Type column in store list all say "dev store".

WHAT is this pull request doing?

Renaming the user-facing text to "dev store" in store create dev and store delete — success banners, prompts, errors, the deletion task title, and command/flag help.

app dev shares the name prompt via @shopify/organizations, so its creation banner moves too; otherwise it would prompt for a "dev store" and confirm a "development store".

Untouched: the Admin API's own partnerDevelopment plan wording, and the remaining app dev selection messages.

Both commands are hidden, so oclif.manifest.json is the only generated file that changes. No changeset, as requested.

How to test your changes?

shopify store create dev --organization-id <id>
shopify store delete --store <domain>

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

The `shopify store` dev store commands were the only place calling them
"development stores" — `app dev`, the `store list` type column and the flag
help elsewhere all say "dev store".

Covers the messages users read: the create and delete success banners, the
name prompt, the confirmation prompt, the failure errors, the deletion task
title, and the command summaries and flag descriptions.

`app dev` shares the name prompt through @Shopify/organizations, so its own
creation banner moves too — otherwise that flow would prompt for a "dev
store" and then confirm a "development store".

Left alone: the Admin API's own `partnerDevelopment` plan wording, and the
remaining `app dev` store-selection messages.
