✨ feat(playbook): auto-create CLAUDE.md with path discovery

sync_claude_md now:
- Checks project root CLAUDE.md first, then .claude/CLAUDE.md
- Auto-creates if neither exists (default: project root)
- Supports playbook.claude_md config to override location
- Update test to verify auto-creation behavior
