Adds a section to the install reference page covering the new --prod flag, which skips devDependencies, and the related --skip-types flag, which additionally skips @types/* packages. Notes the conflict with --global / --dev, the code-only graph behavior with --entrypoint, and the prefix-only match for @types/. Refs denoland/deno#33248

There was a problem hiding this comment.
The new --prod section matches denoland/deno#33248: it covers skipping devDependencies, the --skip-types companion, the code-only --entrypoint interaction, and the --global/--dev conflicts. No check-runs are reported for this head SHA, so holding approval until CI is green.
