Phase 1 — Move .git/ and engine files to root

Moved .git/ from projects/scaffolder/ to engine root
Moved src/, templates/, dist/, node_modules/, package.json, package-lock.json, tsconfig.json, versions.json, .env.example, CHANGELOG.md, README.md, LICENSE, CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md, CONTRIBUTING.md, SECURITY.md
Merged .claude/ directories (added session-start, session-end, plan-mode-reminder skills)
Moved .gitignore to root
Cleaned projects/scaffolder/ — only ai-sessions/, docs/, CLAUDE.md remain

Phase 2 — Rewrote .gitignore

Added projects/, _system/, _ideas/, _review/, INSTALLED-MCP.md, TECH-STACK.md to gitignore

Phase 3 — Rewrote engine CLAUDE.md

Global Harley rules, session protocol, branch strategy, key paths

Phase 4 — Updated projects/scaffolder/CLAUDE.md

Trimmed to project-specific rules only, references engine CLAUDE.md for globals

Phase 5 — Build and verify

npm run build — clean, zero errors
npm link + sc --version — returns 0.9.1
sc create --dry-run "migration-test" — correct structure (note: still shows old /mnt/d/Claude/ path)
