Writes a nanny.toml with safe defaults into the current working directory. 
nanny init

​
What it does

Creates a nanny.toml with conservative defaults that work for most agents out of the box: 
[runtime]
mode = "local"

[start]
# How to launch your agent. nanny run reads this command.
cmd = "python agent.py"

[limits]
steps   = 100
cost    = 1000
timeout = 30000
After running nanny init, set [start].cmd to your agent’s entry point and adjust the limit values to match your requirements.
