Relocate CLAUDE.md to .claude/guidelines.md for improved project structure

Bug Description CLAUDE.md feels out of place in the project root alongside files like README.md: imoving it to the .claude folder (eg .claude/guidelines.md) would make it much less obtrusive.

I came here to make the same suggestion. This would be a small change but a really big deal.

[FEATURE REQUEST] Allow making CLAUDE.md configurable #1091 feels like the best approach

Same suggestion. Please give option to move it outside the project root.
