Summary

Removes automatic JSON-to-YAML migration while keeping existing JSON configs supported.

• YAML project files accept the newer environment and branch settings.
• Reading an old JSON project no longer creates a YAML file.
• Running init creates YAML and leaves any older JSON file in place.
• General migration notices are no longer shown by the CLI.
