John McCardle 5205b5d7cd docs: Add Gitea-first workflow guidelines to project documentation
Establish Gitea as the single source of truth for issue tracking,
documentation, and project management to improve development efficiency.

CLAUDE.md changes:
- Add comprehensive "Gitea-First Workflow" section at top of file
- Document 5 core principles for using Gitea effectively
- Provide workflow pattern diagram for development process
- List available Gitea MCP tools for programmatic access
- Explain benefits: reduced context switching, better planning, living docs

ROADMAP.md changes:
- Add "Development Workflow" section referencing Gitea-first approach
- Include 5-step checklist for starting any work
- Link to detailed workflow guidelines in CLAUDE.md
- Emphasize Gitea as single source of truth

Workflow principles:
1. Always check Gitea issues/wiki before starting work
2. Create granular, focused issues for new features/problems
3. Document as you go - update related issues when work affects them
4. If docs mislead, create task to correct/expand them
5. Cross-reference everything - commits, issues, wiki pages

Benefits:
- Avoid re-reading entire codebase by consulting brief issue descriptions
- Reduce duplicate or contradictory work through better planning
- Maintain living documentation that stays current
- Capture historical context and decision rationale
- Improve efficiency using MCP tools for programmatic queries

This establishes best practices for keeping the project organized and
reducing cognitive load during development.
