/gsd-new-project wrote a repo-root CLAUDE.md full of broad project docs,
overwriting/diluting a hand-crafted instruction file. --force was parsed but
silently dropped, and nothing guarded an existing non-GSD file.
- Guard: an existing instruction file with no `<!-- GSD:<section>-start` markers
(hand-crafted) is left untouched; report action:"skipped". --force (now wired
through CmdGenerateClaudeMdOptions) overwrites intentionally. The marker check
uses /<!-- GSD:[a-z]+-start/ so a file merely documenting GSD syntax is safe.
- Redirect: the Claude-family default output is now ./.claude/CLAUDE.md (a valid
auto-loaded project-memory location) instead of repo-root ./CLAUDE.md. Aligned
across the handler default, config-defaults.manifest.json, buildNewProjectConfig,
the config template, new-project.md, and cmdGenerateClaudeProfile; advisory
read-CLAUDE.md hints in plan-phase/quick/profile-user updated. Codex still
writes AGENTS.md.
Closes#1098
