Aiden McClelland f2142f0bb3 add documentation for ai agents (#3115)
* add documentation for ai agents

* docs: consolidate CLAUDE.md and CONTRIBUTING.md, add style guidelines

- Refactor CLAUDE.md to reference CONTRIBUTING.md for build/test/format info
- Expand CONTRIBUTING.md with comprehensive build targets, env vars, and testing
- Add code style guidelines section with conventional commits
- Standardize SDK prettier config to use single quotes (matching web)
- Add project-level Claude Code settings to disable co-author attribution

* style(sdk): apply prettier with single quotes

Run prettier across sdk/base and sdk/package to apply the
standardized quote style (single quotes matching web).

* docs: add USER.md for per-developer TODO filtering

- Add agents/USER.md to .gitignore (contains user identifier)
- Document session startup flow in CLAUDE.md:
  - Create USER.md if missing, prompting for identifier
  - Filter TODOs by @username tags
  - Offer relevant TODOs on session start

* docs: add i18n documentation task to agent TODOs

* docs: document i18n ID patterns in core/

Add agents/i18n-patterns.md covering rust-i18n setup, translation file
format, t!() macro usage, key naming conventions, and locale selection.
Remove completed TODO item and add reference in CLAUDE.md.

* chore: clarify that all builds work on any OS with Docker

# Container RPC Server Specification
The container runtime exposes a JSON-RPC server over a Unix socket at `/media/startos/rpc/service.sock`.
## Methods
### init
Initialize the runtime and system.
#### params
```ts
{
id: string,
kind: "install" | "update" | "restore" | null,
}
```
#### response
`null`
### exit
Shutdown runtime and optionally run exit hooks for a target version.
#### params
```ts
{
id: string,
target: string | null, // ExtendedVersion or VersionRange
}
```
#### response
`null`
### start
Run main method if not already running.
#### params
None
#### response
`null`
### stop
Stop main method by sending SIGTERM to child processes, and SIGKILL after timeout.
#### params
None
#### response
`null`
### execute
Run a specific package procedure.
#### params
```ts
{
id: string, // event ID
procedure: string, // JSON path (e.g., "/backup/create", "/actions/{name}/run")
input: any,
timeout: number | null,
}
```
#### response
`any`
### sandbox
Run a specific package procedure in sandbox mode. Same interface as `execute`.
UNIMPLEMENTED: this feature is planned but does not exist
#### params
```ts
{
id: string,
procedure: string,
input: any,
timeout: number | null,
}
```
#### response
`any`
### callback
Handle a callback from an effect.
#### params
```ts
{
id: number,
args: any[],
}
```
#### response
`null` (no response sent)
### eval
Evaluate a script in the runtime context. Used for debugging.
#### params
```ts
{
script: string,
}
```
#### response
`any`
## Procedures
The `execute` and `sandbox` methods route to procedures based on the `procedure` path:
| Procedure | Description |
|-----------|-------------|
| `/backup/create` | Create a backup |
| `/actions/{name}/getInput` | Get input spec for an action |
| `/actions/{name}/run` | Run an action with input |
