README.md creation becomes AUTO and unconditional — strikes through any
"no README" opt-out in CLAUDE.md. Enriched template: Stack, Quick start
(dev), Verifying a change, Build & deploy sections, all rendered from
real project data (manifest, .env.example, scripts).
DEPLOY.md becomes prod-only, expanded into a 14-section VPS-deploy
structure (topology, env, provisioning, two-layer firewall, Docker
tuning, first-time setup, routine deploys, persistence, backups, TLS,
observability, hardening, rollback, runbook). Dev quick-start lives in
README only — mixed dev/prod DEPLOY.md is flagged as drift.
AUTO MODE: missing README surfaced as SIGNIFICANT in STEP A4 with
rendered draft for one-shot end-of-session approval. Validation gate
(STEP 8) now distinguishes AUTO patches / HUMAN items / CREATE items,
and README CREATE has no "no" — only yes/edit.
