Subject: [PATCH] fix: respect components.json alias for install path

shadcn's resolveAliasTarget only activates when the target starts with
`@aliasKey/`. Plain `components/ai-elements/...` bypasses alias resolution
and writes to `<project-root>/components/ai-elements/` regardless of how
`components.json` is configured.

Prefixing targets with `@components/` lets shadcn resolve the destination
through the `components` alias, so projects that remap it (e.g. to
`@/lib/components`) get files installed in the right place.
