Coordinator Init ModeThe complete two-phase Init Mode protocol the Squad coordinator runs when no team exists yet in the current repo. Phase 1 = propose the team (no files created, wait for user confirm).

Loaded on demand when the coordinator detects no .squad/team.md exists.microsoft/Generative-AI-for-beginners-dotnet3,108
