feat(claude): add user-global Claude Code memory file#136
Conversation
`home/dot_claude/` did not exist, so chezmoi deployed nothing to `~/.claude/CLAUDE.md`. Without a user-global `CLAUDE.md`, Claude Code sessions in repositories that lack a project-level `CLAUDE.md` fall back to model defaults for the conversation language policy, Conventional Commits style, and the bounded signing fallback ladder. Add `home/dot_claude/CLAUDE.md` modeled on the canonical Copilot user-global file, adapted for Claude Code's interaction model: the wording uses "continue autonomously / pause to ask" rather than the Copilot product-specific "Agent mode" / "Plan mode" terms, and a note distinguishes this static user-global file from Claude Code's auto-memory subsystem at `~/.claude/projects/`. The file preserves the same five sections (deferral preamble, Conversation, Commit rules with the full P/C/A/U signing fallback ladder, Coding standards, Guardrails) as the Codex and Copilot user-global files. Track B under the symmetrization roadmap (#130). Sibling tracks land `home/dot_gemini/GEMINI.md` (#133) and the documentation update in `docs/ai-strategy.md` (#134) independently.

Pull request overview
Adds a user-global Claude Code memory file at home/dot_claude/CLAUDE.md so chezmoi deploys it to ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md, bringing Claude Code to parity with the already-deployed Copilot CLI user-global instructions.
Changes:
- New
home/dot_claude/CLAUDE.mdcontaining repository-precedence preamble, Conversation, Commit rules (with signing fallback ladder), Coding standards, and Guardrails sections. - Wording adapted to Claude Code's interaction model (continue autonomously / pause to ask), avoiding Copilot-specific "Agent mode" / "Plan mode" terms.
- Clarifying note distinguishing this static memory file from Claude Code's per-project auto-memory under
~/.claude/projects/.

When the fallback uses a literal key from ssh-add -L, this command can fail for common non-ssh- key types such as ecdsa-sha2-* or hardware-backed sk-ssh-* keys. Git's user.signingKey docs say literal public keys should be prefixed with key::, and raw-key compatibility is only for values beginning ssh-; otherwise Git treats the value like a path instead of a key. Since this file explicitly recommends hardware-backed keys, the transient fallback should use user.signingkey="key::<ssh-public-key>" for literal keys.

For repositories that only publish rules under .github/instructions/*.md, this sentence says those rules take precedence but does not actually make their contents available to Claude Code; the repo's own docs/idd-workflow.md:31 notes that Claude Code gets no .github/instructions/ context by default. As a result, Claude can proceed under this generic global file while silently missing the repository-specific rules it is supposed to honor unless the user or a project CLAUDE.md separately points it at them.
