 This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.
 
-## ⚠️ CRITICAL RULES - READ FIRST
-
-### Git Workflow - ABSOLUTELY MANDATORY
-- **NEVER COMMIT DIRECTLY TO MAIN/MASTER BRANCH**
-- **ALWAYS CREATE FEATURE BRANCHES FOR ANY CHANGES**
-- **USE TEA CLI FOR GIT.DECO.SH REPOSITORY**
-
-### Required Git Workflow
-```bash
-# STEP 1: ALWAYS create a feature branch first
-git checkout -b feature/brief-description
-
-# STEP 2: Make your changes and commit
-git add .
-git commit -m "Your commit message"
-
-# STEP 3: Push branch and create PR using tea cli
-git push -u origin feature/brief-description
-tea pr create
-```
-
-### Pre-Commit Checklist
-- [ ] Confirm you are NOT on main/master branch: `git branch --show-current`
-- [ ] Run tests: `npm test`
-- [ ] Run linting: `npm run lint`
-- [ ] Build succeeds: `npm run build`
-
-**VIOLATION OF THESE RULES IS UNACCEPTABLE**
-
 ## Development Commands
 
-### Quick Update Scripts
-
-For easier development and deployment updates:
-
-```bash
-# Development update (pull, install, build, test)
-./scripts/dev-update.sh
-
-# Production server update (requires sudo, handles service restart)
-sudo ./scripts/server-update.sh
-```
-
 ### Running the Application
 ```bash
 # Install dependencies
