CLI Project Workflow

The release makes the CLI project loop the recommended path for local development:

1. Run Project Init to create kalam.toml, schema.sql, migrations, optional starter files, and package-manager wiring.
2. Run Local Development to start or reuse a KalamDB server, apply schema changes, regenerate SDK code, and stream supervised process logs.
3. Use Migrations when schema changes need a committed rollout path.
