2026-03-14 — scaffolder v0.4.2 end-to-end test

Ran a full end-to-end test of scaffolder v0.4.2. Created test project test-v042, verified all output against dry run, checked GitHub setup, cleaned up.

All checks passed: Folder structure, GitHub repo (private, correct default branch), labels (14), milestones (v0.1.0), CI workflow, .scaffolder, .nvmrc, .gitattributes, cleanup.

Takeaways for next scaffolder session:

1. Add --version flag
2. Add --help flag
3. Document naming conventions as part of project design guidance
4. Joker process fix: always provide prompt answers in the same message as the create command
5. Clarify whether docs/CLAUDE.md and docs/CLAUDE-CHAT.md duplicates are intentional
6. Add descriptions to custom labels
7. Decide on default due_on for milestones
8. Decide if npm run build should be in CI workflow
9. Fix duplicate eol=lf on .sh line in .gitattributes
