InitCommand class

dialect init — the agent-executable entry point.

Behavior is intentionally idempotent so re-running it (from the terminal or from an AI agent) never gets stuck on "already scaffolded":

• First run (no dialect/ directory): scaffold the workspace + write .dialect/init-plan.md + write or update AGENTS.md + append .dialect/ to .gitignore.
• Subsequent runs (scaffold present): re-emit .dialect/init-plan.md and refresh the AGENTS.md Dialect section. Touches the scaffold files only with --force.

The CLI is self-teaching: its stdout ends with the exact chat message the developer should paste into their AI agent to execute the plan.
