stack-cli: cloud/local init flow, auto-create on empty projects, post-setup next-steps (#1383)
### Summary

Reworks `stack init` UX, adds Sentry error reporting to the CLI,
polishes the emulator start flow, and overhauls the local-emulator
dashboard's "Open config file" dialog.

#### `stack init` flow
- **New top-level flow.** Drops the old "link existing vs. create new
local" fork. `init` now asks *where* to create the project — "Stack Auth
Cloud" or "Local". Adds a new `create-cloud` mode that logs the user in,
creates a cloud project, mints keys, and writes `.env` — no round-trip
through the dashboard.
- **Conditional emulator-install warning.** The "Local" choice label
only shows "(requires local emulator installation, ~1.3gb storage
required)" when the QEMU image isn't already on disk; otherwise it shows
"(emulator already installed)". Driven by a new
`isEmulatorImageInstalled()` helper in `commands/emulator.ts`.
- **Auto-create on zero-projects.** When the link-from-cloud path hits
an empty project list, the CLI now prompts *"You don't have any Stack
Auth projects yet. Would you like to create one?"* and, on yes, runs the
same flow as `stack project create`. Skips the pointless "select a
project" prompt when we just created one.
- **MCP-server notice.** Before invoking the coding agent, the CLI
announces that it's also registering the Stack Auth MCP server
(`mcp.stack-auth.com`) so the agent can answer Stack-specific questions
going forward.
- **Local-emulator env header.** When `writeProjectKeysToEnv` runs in
`local` mode it writes a 3-line comment header above the keys explaining
they're emulator-only and only valid while the emulator is running.
- **"What's next" footer.** After setup finishes, prints a short
orientation block: where the sign-up/sign-in routes live
(`/handler/sign-up`, `/handler/sign-in`), how to start the local
emulator (for `create` mode), a dashboard deep link for cloud projects
(respects `STACK_DASHBOARD_URL`), and a docs link.

#### Sentry error reporting (`lib/sentry.ts`, `index.ts`,
`tsdown.config.ts`)
- New `lib/sentry.ts` initializes `@sentry/node` with PII scrubbing
(Stack key prefixes, JWTs, home-dir paths, sensitive field names like
`token`/`secret`/`password`/`dsn`).
- DSN is baked at build time via a tsdown `define` sentinel
(`__STACK_CLI_SENTRY_DSN__`) — no DSN in source, no runtime env-var
dependency for installed users. CI sets `STACK_CLI_SENTRY_DSN_BUILD`
before `pnpm build`.
- Disabled when `NODE_ENV=development` or `CI`. No user opt-out.
- Wired into `main()`'s catch (only for unexpected errors —
`CliError`/`AuthError` still print and exit cleanly) plus
`uncaughtException` and `unhandledRejection` handlers via a
`handleFatal` helper.

#### `stack emulator start` welcome
- After a fresh start (not when reusing a running VM, not when
`--config-file` keeps stdout JSON-only), prints a short "Emulator is up"
block with service URLs (dashboard / backend / inbucket) and common
commands (`status`, `stop`, `reset`, `run`).

#### Local-emulator dashboard "Open config file" dialog
The dialog at `http://localhost:26700` (when no project is loaded) used
to be a single text input asking for an absolute path, with no
explanation of where that path comes from.

**Backend**
(`apps/backend/src/app/api/latest/internal/local-emulator/project/route.tsx`):
- POST is now tolerant of directory paths or paths that don't end in
`.ts`/`.js`/`.mjs` — it appends `stack.config.ts` and creates the file
if missing (`writeConfigToFile` mkdir's parents). Lets users paste a
project folder instead of hunting for the config file.
- New GET endpoint returns up to 20 most-recent `LocalEmulatorProject`
rows joined with their display names, sorted by `updatedAt` desc. Same
`isLocalEmulatorEnabled()` + client-auth gating as POST.

**Dashboard**
(`apps/dashboard/src/app/(main)/(protected)/(outside-dashboard)/projects/page-client.tsx`):
- Title changed to "Open your Stack Auth project". Description now
explicitly ties the file to `stack init`: *"Point the local dashboard at
the `stack.config.ts` in your project. If you just ran `stack init`, it
was created at the root of that project."*
- Added: *"Don't have one yet? Paste your project folder path instead
and we'll create stack.config.ts for you."*
- Recent-projects list (clickable rows that prefill the input) fetched
from the new GET endpoint when the dialog opens.
- OS-specific copy-path tip below the input (macOS ⌥-Copy as Pathname,
Windows Shift+RC Copy as path, Linux `realpath`).
- "Open project" button is disabled when the input is empty.
- All error paths (empty input, non-absolute path, server errors,
exceptions) surface via destructive toasts instead of throwing.

Why no native file picker: browsers do not expose absolute filesystem
paths from `<input type="file">`, drag-and-drop, or the File System
Access API. The backend requires an absolute path, so a Finder-style
picker isn't possible from a web page. The recent list + OS tips are the
workaround.

### Goal

The previous `init` flow dead-ended new users: if you had no project you
got an error telling you to go create one in the dashboard and come
back. The happy path also forced a choice between "link existing" and
"create local emulator" — not the question most users are trying to
answer. The emulator dashboard's open-project dialog had similar
friction: an unexplained path field with no recall of previously-opened
projects. And the CLI silently swallowed unexpected errors with no
telemetry. This branch makes the first-run path work end-to-end from the
terminal, gives the emulator dashboard a usable open-project surface,
and turns CLI crashes into actionable bug reports.

### How to review

- Start with `packages/stack-cli/src/commands/init.ts` — the whole
user-facing flow lives in `runInit`. Mode dispatch at the top,
`handleCreateCloud` is the new cloud branch, `printNextSteps` is the
footer, the MCP notice prints right before `runClaudeAgent`.
- `packages/stack-cli/src/lib/sentry.ts` is small and self-contained;
the sentinel-replacement contract is in `tsdown.config.ts`'s `define`
block. Confirm `dist/index.js` contains zero `__STACK_CLI_SENTRY_DSN__`
occurrences after a build with the env var unset, and the actual DSN
host after a build with it set.
- `packages/stack-cli/src/commands/emulator.ts` —
`printEmulatorWelcome()` is the welcome block;
`isEmulatorImageInstalled()` is the new exported helper used by
`init.ts`.
-
`apps/backend/src/app/api/latest/internal/local-emulator/project/route.tsx`
— the directory-tolerance branch is in the POST handler around the
`looksLikeConfigFile` check; the GET handler is appended at the bottom.
-
`apps/dashboard/src/app/(main)/(protected)/(outside-dashboard)/projects/page-client.tsx`
— dialog markup, recent-list fetch effect, `pathCopyTip` memo, and the
toast-based error handling in `handleOpenConfigFile`.
- Non-interactive (CI) paths stay strict: empty-project list still
errors with a pointer to `stack project create --display-name`. No
surprise project creation in CI.
- No tests. The CLI has no harness for the interactive flow;
verification is manual.
