Install the neon CLI during init, not the retired neonctl alias - #432
Merged
Conversation
`neon init` was still probing, version-checking, and installing the old `neonctl` package. Switch it to `neon`: version detection tries `neon` first (and keeps `neonctl` as a fallback so an existing global install still counts as installed), the update check reads `npm view neon`, and the auth and context-resolution calls shell out to `neon`.
