Mike Swanson ab5db78eb2 refactor: Trim CLAUDE.md and directives to reduce context window pressure
Reduced always-loaded context from ~1,570 lines to ~75 lines (-95%):
- CLAUDE.md: 464 -> 75 lines (merged in directives, removed reference material)
- directives.md: 639 -> 7 lines (now pointer to CLAUDE.md)
- AGENT_COORDINATION_RULES.md: 468 -> 32 lines (slim agent reference only)
- New REFERENCE.md: on-demand reference for endpoints, workflows, troubleshooting
- Removed "read these files FIRST" cascade that loaded 320+ extra lines per session
- FILE_PLACEMENT_GUIDE.md and CODING_GUIDELINES.md now read on-demand by agents

Claude Code Directives

All behavioral directives are now in .claude/CLAUDE.md (auto-loaded every session).

This file exists for backward compatibility. No need to read it separately.

See .claude/CLAUDE.md for: identity, delegation rules, key rules, automatic behaviors, context recovery.
