- "a accountless" -> "an accountless" in 4 more README files the prior grammar-fix commit missed. - init: compute the accountless/keyless merge and print the --keyless deprecation warning once, before assertUsableFlags runs, instead of recomputing it independently inside assertUsableFlags. Previously `clerk init --keyless --login` threw before the deprecation warning ever printed, and the usage error referenced --accountless without explaining that --keyless is its deprecated alias.

assertKeylessOnlyFlags always told the user to "Add --accountless" to fix a --template/--fresh usage error, regardless of why the strategy didn't resolve to accountless. That advice is wrong in two cases: - strategy === "manual": the framework doesn't support accountless at all, so --accountless would immediately fail with its own error. - --app forced the authenticated flow: --accountless conflicts with --app in assertUsableFlags, so following the advice just trades one usage error for another. Now the remedy is scoped to why the authenticated/manual strategy was reached, and only suggests --accountless when it would actually work.

`open` and `whoami` agent JSON carried only the legacy `keyless` field name, while the open README documented an `accountless` field that was never emitted. Emit both — `accountless` as canonical, `keyless` as a deprecated alias — matching the `--accountless`/`--keyless` flag treatment. Also: bump the changeset to minor (new flag plus new JSON keys), add tests naming the `--keyless` alias contract (accountless behavior and the deprecation warning), and reword the unsupported-framework `--template`/`--fresh` usage error, which read "there is no way to force it here, or drop --template."

This LGTM, but I'd like it if @wyattjoh, @rafa-thayto, or @kylemac gave their blessing as well.

Summary
Make
accountlessthe canonical user-facing term for Clerk CLI setup while preserving compatibility with existing keyless flags, files, and internal identifiers.Changes
clerk init --accountlessas the canonical explicit flag--keylessas a hidden, deprecated compatibility alias and emits a migration warning.clerk/keyless.json,.clerk/.tmp/keyless.json, and internal keyless identifiers so older CLI and SDK versions remain compatibleRelated work
Merge order
The two
clerk/clerkPRs can merge in parallel after the updated CLI is published.clerk/skills#64must follow the CLI release because it teaches the new--accountlessflag; it does not directly modify the generated setup skill.After
clerk/clerk#3246merges, run the Refresh agent prompts workflow inclerk/skillsand review and merge its generated output separately. Once the skill changes are published, refresh clerk.com’s generated skills registry. After the docs deploy, run the post-deployment aggregate export verification.
