    CLAUDE.md: forbid creating identifiers in the C/C++ reserved namespace

    Codifies the header-guard rename in ecb854b2c as a project-wide rule
    for future code, with guidance to fix opportunistically rather than mass-rewrite the existing tree.

    CLAUDE.md: note portability between MSVC, GCC, and Clang

    The project's C/C++ has to compile under MSVC, GCC, and Clang
    (plus Borland for the legacy GUIs). MSVC tends to be the most
    permissive; a clean MSBuild is not a full verification.

    Documents the goto-crosses-initialization pitfall that broke
    chat.cpp under GCC (introduced in 683147f9c, fixed in 2a0ee8dd1),
    plus other MSVC-vs-GCC/Clang divergences worth watching when only
    one toolchain is available locally.

    CLAUDE.md: document the Synchronet directory hierarchy

    Add a "Directory hierarchy" section mapping each install sub-directory
    (ctrl/, data/, exec/, exec/load/, mods/, text/) to its purpose and its system.*_dir accessor, with the practical rule that drives file
    placement: configuration and hand-curated data go in ctrl/, generated
    run-time data in data/, and exec/ is for code only. Notes that the
    locations are SCFG-configurable so code must use system.*_dir, never
    hardcoded paths. Links to wiki.synchro.net/dir: as the canonical ref.
