feat(init): select project and dataset during app init

[binoy14]

Description

Adds project and dataset selection to sanity init for app templates (app-quickstart, app-sanity-ui). Users can pick an existing project, create a new one, or skip — the selected projectId and dataset are rendered into src/App.tsx so the app works out of the box.

FIXES SDK-302

What to review

• commands/init.ts — new promptForAppProjectSetup method with skip/create/existing options
• actions/init/bootstrapLocalTemplate.ts — renders %projectId%/%dataset% placeholders in App.tsx
• actions/init/initApp.ts — threads projectId/datasetName through; conditional success message
• templates/app-quickstart/src/App.tsx and templates/app-sanity-ui/src/App.tsx — placeholder variables
• App templates marked typescriptOnly: true since they only ship .tsx files

Testing

• bootstrapLocalTemplate.test.ts — placeholder substitution and empty-string-on-skip cases
• init.get-project-details.test.ts — skip, pick existing, create new, unattended with/without flags
• init.bootstrap-app.test.ts — updated for new select prompt

packages/@sanity/cli/src/commands/init.ts:1083–1138 — newProject ignored in interactive app template path

When --project-name is supplied without --yes for an app template, createProjectFromName runs first and creates a project, but promptForAppTemplateSetup's interactive branch ignores the newProject parameter entirely — it calls listProjects() fresh and shows a full selector. The newly-created project will appear in the list with no preselection, and if the user picks something else or skips, the project they never intended to create is silently orphaned.

Fix: in the interactive branch, check newProject and fast-forward to the dataset step if it's set:

// before the select prompt
if (newProject) {
  const displayName = projects.find((p) => p.id === newProject)?.displayName ?? ''
  const dataset = await this.getOrCreateDataset({ displayName, projectId: newProject, showDefaultConfigPrompt: false })
  return { datasetName: dataset.datasetName, displayName, projectId: newProject }
}

packages/@sanity/cli/src/commands/init.ts:~1084 — missing spinner on listProjects() in interactive app-template path

Every other API call in the init flow has a spinner, but the listProjects() call at the top of promptForAppTemplateSetup's interactive branch has none. On a slow connection this shows a blank pause. The non-app template path has the same pattern but it's covered by the "Fetching existing projects" log printed earlier in run(). That log is explicitly suppressed for app templates (if (!isAppTemplate) { this.log('Fetching existing projects') }), so there's no feedback at all here.

.changeset/pr-968.md — two unrelated fixes in one changeset entry

The changeset mixes a feature and a bug fix into two bullets. Conventionally each distinct user-facing change gets its own sentence (or its own changeset file). The TypeScript crash fix is unrelated to project/dataset selection and could confuse users reading the changelog.

packages/@sanity/cli/src/commands/init.ts:~1084 — listProjects() includes member-role projects

listProjects() returns all projects the user can see, including those where they are only a member. For app templates that then call getOrCreateDataset, a member-role project may lack the permissions needed to list or create datasets, producing a confusing downstream API error. Consider filtering to projects where the user has at least editor/admin role, or adding an error message that contextualises the permission failure.

A few nits, nothing super blocking -- I'd just want an update on the "sources" language
