refactor(rules): use agent-neutral language in shared rules
A non-Claude agent (Codex, a local model) reading the shared rules gets told it's "Claude" in prose that's really about whatever agent is running. I replaced the agent-as-actor references — "how Claude communicates," "when Claude needs the user to pick," a "wrong-context Claude session" — with "the agent."
Left untouched: file and path names (CLAUDE.md, .claude/, claude-rules/), and every reference in commits.md, which names Claude and Anthropic on purpose as the things never to attribute a commit to. Neutralizing those would invert the rule.

Present the options inline in chat as a numbered list and ask the user to reply with a number. **Why:** The popup menu UI sits at the bottom of the chat window and obscures the chat content directly above it — exactly the area the user needs to read to make the choice. Inline numbered options keep the question, the surrounding context, and the proposed text all visible in the same scrollback. |
