Description

If someone clones an empty repo as in #44 or the repo is otherwise missing the config/west.yml file, we should at minimum print an error message with instructions to fix it. Even better would be to offer to create the missing files.

Research direction

Reproduce the empty-repository case described in #44 and the case where config/west.yml is missing. Trace the CLI path that handles repository configuration, then define completion as a useful error with instructions; offering to create missing files is an additional scope to clarify.
