pkgxdev
`pkgx --offline`
--offline would prevent pkgx from making any requests, and instead just fail if the operation cannot be accomplished without internet.

pkgx^1 had --keep-going which would work this way, but I think probably this route is better. --offline makes sense. The flag is fine IMO, especially if there is precedent. Is there any you know of?

Npm has --prefer-offline: https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/v11/using-npm/config#offline.
potentially a stronger (or alternate) option would be --locked, to prevent updating any of its internal files. but since we don't use lock files like a cargo/npm, it might be meaningless.
