Add CLAUDE.md pointing at the specs rather than restating them - #76

Conversation
The repo had no CLAUDE.md, so an agent starting cold rediscovered the same traps each time: regenerating into a populated directory is a silent no-op because pre-fingerprint caches get adopted, PYTHONHASHSEED must be set before the interpreter starts, output/ is gitignored so those tests skip in CI, and more than one "the generator drops X" investigation has ended in the artifact being from a different Reactome release than the database. Now that spec-kit is in use the why belongs in specs/NNN-name/, so this file carries current state and pointers only. docs/DESIGN_DECISIONS.md and docs/UUID_DESIGN.md stay where they are: representational semantics are current state, not feature history. Also records the division of labour that keeps getting relitigated — the generator represents pathways as curators authored them, DeltaSignal decides how to process that — and the A/B protocol the benchmark needs, since non-converged solves return different values for a structurally identical network.

Independent of #74 and #75 — docs only.
The repo had no
CLAUDE.md, so an agent starting cold rediscovered the sametraps each time:
pre-fingerprint caches get adopted and the old networks are reproduced
while success is reported;
PYTHONHASHSEEDmust be set before the interpreter starts;output/is gitignored, so tests reading it skip in CI and a green CI runis not evidence they ran;
artifact being from a different Reactome release than the database.
Now that spec-kit is in use, the why belongs in
specs/NNN-name/, so thisfile carries current state and pointers only.
docs/DESIGN_DECISIONS.mdanddocs/UUID_DESIGN.mdstay where they are: representational semantics arecurrent state, not feature history.
Also records the division of labour that keeps getting relitigated — the
generator represents pathways as curators authored them, DeltaSignal decides
how to process that — and the A/B protocol the benchmark needs, since
non-converged solves return different values for a structurally identical
network.
