Manfred Riem 446ee329b1 docs(assess): clarify the pipeline works on an empty project (#3732)
* docs(assess): clarify the pipeline works on an empty project

State explicitly in the README and intake command that the assess
pipeline requires no existing source code. An empty, freshly
initialized project and an existing codebase are equally valid
starting points — the input is just an idea (pasted text, a URL, a
ticket, or a codebase pointer).

* docs(assess): distinguish empty project from no project

Clarify that assess still runs inside an initialized Spec Kit project
(writing under .specify/assessments/) — only existing source code is
optional. Reword 'no repo at all'/'need no repo' to 'need no existing
codebase' so users don't expect intake to work outside a Spec Kit
project.
