name	adlc-init
description	Initialize or refresh an ADLC repository for the GitHub Copilot CLI. Use for first-time ADLC setup, requests to bootstrap `.adlc/`, or repair missing Copilot repository configuration.

Initialize ADLC for the GitHub Copilot CLI

1. Run adlc init --help to confirm the installed CLI contains the initializer. If it does not, stop and direct the user to the source-checkout command in the GitHub Copilot CLI integration guide; do not imply that an older registry release has it.
2. Run adlc init --harness copilot --json from the repository root.
3. Inspect the returned created, updated, unchanged, and warnings fields.
4. Confirm .adlc/config.json and .adlc/specs/ exist. The six read-only prosecution agents (agents/adlc-prosecutor-*.agent.md) ship with the plugin — adlc init bootstraps only the committable .adlc/ runtime, it does not write agent profiles into the repository.
5. Run adlc preflight --json and report any failed readiness check.

The initializer is idempotent and preserves project-owned files. adlc init may write a local .adlc/config.json; do not commit it into a repo that already has frozen rails on the base branch — CI treats .adlc/config.json as a trust root once any base ticket declares rails. Then wire the unbypassable CI rail-freeze gate (rails-guard-ci) as a required check — the unbypassable tier. The in-session rails hook enforces headless (its deny-ask defaults to deny) unless the session runs with --allow-all-tools, which auto-approves it.
