New knowledge projects currently start with Scaffold project from template, which does not identify the framework or its version. This change uses the approved welcome message:

Create knowledge project with Folderwise {version}

This repository was created with Folderwise, a Markdown-and-Git
framework for knowledge that humans read and AI agents help maintain.

Make yourself at home. Your knowledge grows from here.

Agent: human

Clean release-tag checkouts record the release version; development and locally modified checkouts record a Git description. Archives use their existing RELEASE-INFO.json. Missing metadata is reported as unknown without preventing project creation. Git author identity, agent/model trailers, and --no-commit behavior are preserved.

The README and usage guide document the creation record. New CLI tests inspect actual first commits across tagged, untagged, dirty, prerelease, archive, worktree, and missing/invalid metadata installations, including an archive inside an unrelated repository.

Validation:

• Baseline self-test: 829/829 checks passed.
• Final complete self-test under coverage: 862/862 checks passed; production line coverage 93.95% (85% required).
• Targeted creation tests: 59/59 passed.
• Public documentation: 248/248 checks passed.
• CI helper and release-packaging tests: 54 passed.
• Pinned Ruff, framework index guard, and diff whitespace checks passed.

This changes the self-test harness to add regression cases; it does not change CI workflows, coverage policy, the framework allowlist, or managed project rules.
