The --dry-run option is a build option and thus "command execution" refers to 
compilers and such. It's only available for "run" because "run" includes 
"build" as a sub-step.
If I understand you correctly, you want output such as "would try to run <path 
to app>"? I suppose that could be added.

We don't currently have command-line options for this, though this sounds as if 
it would fit as an extension to the list-products command. 
What are you planning to do with that information?
