spec-editor init
Initialize a new specification project at the –path directory.
Interactive mode asks about LLM provider, API key, error reporting,
web UI, and — unless --methodology was given — the project’s domain,
then either picks the best-matching catalog methodology or (on request)
generates one for that domain. On re-init, existing
values are shown as defaults.

Non-interactive: spec-editor init --non-interactive
