Create an open-erd workspace for a project and draw its first ERD from the source code. Asks where the workspace goes, writes a read-only extract script per source repo (run only with permission), builds model/<db>.yaml with evidence, proposes domains, then lays out and renders an interactive SVG. Use when the user wants an ERD, a database diagram or table documentation for a codebase that has no open-erd workspace yet.
