🐞 ATK CLI v1.1.5 supposed to have new `init` command, but it's missing...

[andrewconnell]

Describe the bug
The ATK for VSCode called out that a new version of the ATK CLI v1.1.5 contains a new command init that adds the project configuration when you set the envvar TEAMSFX_GENERATE_CONFIG_FILES to true.

But running the command atk init throws an error AND it isn't listed in the list of commands.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Ensure you have latest ATK installed, specifically v1.1.5
2. Execute atk init
3. Observe Error

$ echo "$TEAMSFX_GENERATE_CONFIG_FILES"
true

$ atk -v
1.1.5

$ atk init
(✖) Error: TeamsfxCLI.UnknownCommandError: 'init' is misspelled or not 
recognized by Microsoft 365 Agents Toolkit CLI. Use 'atk -h' for more 
command information.

🤖 AI-Generated Preliminary Analysis:

This issue has been observed by others: the init command for ATK CLI v1.1.5 is missing, despite documentation or VS Code extension notes claiming otherwise.

Workarounds:

• The init command is not available in v1.1.5, nor listed in atk -h. You cannot run atk init as of this version.
• Ensure you have the latest CLI (@microsoft/m365agentstoolkit-cli), but the command isn’t shipped in v1.1.5. Await an update or check the release notes for when init will arrive.
• For now, use project creation via the VS Code extension or other toolkit commands.

Links for reference:

• GitHub discussion on missing CLI commands
• ATK CLI releases

Apologies—the documentation and extension may be ahead of CLI features.
