Description

Clarify how backlog init configures MCP client integrations and adjust the CLI automation so generated commands match the latest client expectations. Remove leftover code related to interactive mode guidance while keeping existing workflows intact.

Acceptance Criteria

• [x] #1 README MCP section explains that rerunning backlog init configures MCP automatically and includes a direct link to agent instructions for manual setup.
• [x] #2 backlog init generates the correct commands for Claude (-s user), Codex (server name positioned before client command), and Gemini (server argument order matches other clients).
• [x] #3 Unused _needsInteractiveIntegration flag removed without breaking existing initialization flows.

Implementation Plan

1. Review README MCP guidance to align with automated init behavior.
2. Document manual MCP setup reminder and link to agent instructions.
3. Update CLI MCP client commands (Claude/Codex/Gemini) and remove unused integration flag.

Implementation Notes

Changes applied on current branch touching README.md and src/cli.ts. No automated tests or linting were run yet.
