Function: needsToolchain()
needsToolchain(
root):boolean
True when the synth TOOLCHAIN isn’t installed yet: no node_modules, or the
dbx-tools engine / projen aren’t resolvable under it. Distinct from a full
bootstrap (which keys off a MISSING .projenrc.ts): here the projenrc exists
but its dependencies don’t - e.g. a copied project whose generated manifests
and node_modules are gitignored. Seeding the toolchain (not scaffolding)
makes it synth-ready without touching the hand-authored .projenrc.ts.
