tests/test_init_attestations.py: nova init in a tmp_path creates
.nova/contract.yml.attestations/ as an empty directory (listdir == []).
The existing test_cli_subcommands.py asserts is_dir() but not emptiness;
this is the explicit REQ-331 assertion (freshly scaffolded repo has no
attestations yet — they are produced later by nova apply --sign-local-review
/ the JWS attestation flow, REQ-332).
