Proudlock bd48814021 Reorganize repository structure and clean up documentation
Clean up and organize the flask-shopdb repository for better
maintainability and discoverability:

## Changes

- Update .gitignore for build artifacts (publish/, data/, 122M total)
- Reorganize .claude/ into 6 subdirectories with README navigation
- Consolidate overlapping MCP setup guides into MCP-QUICK-START.md
- Move deployment docs from root to docs/deployment/
- Archive dated status reports to .claude/archived/
- Delete temporary files (logs, backups, empty reports, ~50K)

## New Structure

.claude/ organized into:
- setup/ - MCP, VM, Hyper-V, GitHub setup guides + scripts (17 files)
- plans/ - Feature plans and protocols (5 files)
- maintenance/ - Deployment checklists and reports (4 files)
- archived/ - Historical documentation (9 files)
- skills/ - Claude Code automation (5 files)
- workflows/ - Security audit workflow (1 file)

docs/deployment/ created with 6 deployment guides:
- LOCAL-DEV-SETUP.md, DOCKER-SETUP.md, DOCKER-PREBUILT-APPROACH.md
- PRODUCTION-READINESS.md, DEPLOY-TO-VM.md, README.md

Root directory cleaned to essential docs only:
- CLAUDE.md, README.md, CONTRIBUTING.md, CHANGELOG.md

Benefits:
- Clear navigation via README.md in each subdirectory
- No duplicate/overlapping documentation
- Large artifacts properly gitignored (won't bloat repository)
- Historical context preserved in archived/

See .claude/CLEANUP-SUMMARY.md for complete details.

MCP Quick Start Guide

Quick setup for ShopDB MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers.

What is MCP?

MCP extends Claude Code with external tool access. ShopDB uses 5 MCP servers:

Server Purpose
gortex Code intelligence and project management
mysql Database access and queries
browser Web automation and testing
vm VM automation and deployment
coordinator Multi-agent coordination

Quick Setup

1. Run Automated Setup

cd flask-shopdb
.\.claude\quick-start-mcp.ps1

This installs all required packages and verifies connectivity.

2. Configure GitHub Token

# Create token at: https://github.com/settings/tokens/new
# Scopes needed: repo, read:org

# Set environment variable (Windows)
setx GITHUB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN "ghp_YOUR_TOKEN_HERE"

# Or add to shell profile (Git Bash)
echo 'export GITHUB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN="ghp_YOUR_TOKEN_HERE"' >> ~/.bashrc

3. Verify Setup

.\.claude\test-mcp-servers.ps1

Expected: All servers respond OK.

4. Restart Claude Code

Close and reopen Claude Code to load MCP servers.

Troubleshooting

Problem: GitHub authorization error
Fix: Set GITHUB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN environment variable and restart

Problem: MySQL connection fails
Fix: Start MySQL with docker-compose up -d db or start-dev.cmd

Problem: VM connection fails
Fix: Check VM is running and SSH is enabled (see setup-vm-ssh.md)

Problem: Coordinator not connecting
Fix: Verify coordinator server is running and network is accessible
