Legacy Migration

If Era detects legacy Claude Code files (.claude, CLAUDE.md, .mcp.json), it will:

1. Backup your user directives
2. Remove all legacy files
3. Initialize fresh with OpenCode
4. Restore your directives

This migration is automatic and preserves your custom directives.

Idempotent

Running init multiple times is safe. It syncs your installation to the latest version without losing user content.
