ArgoCD CLI 3.1.0 throws unexpected error when trying to access notifications

[LoniasGR]

Checklist:

• I've searched in the docs and FAQ for my answer: https://bit.ly/argocd-faq.
• I've included steps to reproduce the bug.
• I've pasted the output of argocd version.

Describe the bug

When trying to run any notifications-related command in the argoCD CLI, we keep getting the following error:

{"level":"error","msg":"error getting api from namespace: argocd error: argocdService is not initialized","time":"2025-08-19T14:49:45+03:00"}
failed to get api: errors getting apis: [argocdService is not initialized]

Tried with the 3.0.12 and earlier CLIs and it works. I also tried to trace the error in the code, but could not exactly find the change that created it.

To Reproduce

• Install the latest argocd CLI.
• Install the notifications gallery as described in the docs.
• Try to access the templates by running argocd admin notifications templates get -n argocd.
• It should fail.

Expected behavior

The command should return success and the templates.
