RDK #6057 adds a --from-source flag to `viam module build start` that packages local source and uploads it to the cloud builder, bypassing the need for a GitHub repo or git push. Also adds --path, --wait, and --no-progress flags for this mode. Updates four pages: - cli/reference.md: add new flags to the argument table - cli/build-and-deploy-modules.md: add --from-source example - build-modules/deploy-a-module.md: note that --from-source does not require a GitHub repo - build-modules/module-reference.md: update flags summary Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01YFy4ubaHy4n3G9AXWJBi52
