Init success output doesn't prove setup worked #1381

Description

@sentry-junior

After sentry init completes, the terminal shows a static install summary (SDK package commands, project settings URL, docs link, enabled features). That leaves users unsure which project was created and whether anything actually reached Sentry.

Observed end state on Next.js App Router (@sentry/nextjs):

  • "Sentry SDK installed successfully"
  • platform, directory, and install commands
  • Project URL pointing at project settings (e.g. …/settings/projects/<slug>/)
  • Docs URL
  • Features listed as set up (Error Monitoring, Session Replay, Tracing, Logging)

Gaps reported after that screen:

  • Project outcome is easy to miss or hard to trust from the settings URL alone
  • No test/sample error
  • No CLI follow-through showing events or logs arriving
  • No signal that data was sent successfully

Related: #1379 (finish with a clear summary of what was configured)
