Prepare repository for handoff: cleanup and AI documentation

[Copilot]

Repository needed preparation for AI agent handoff with proper documentation and portable configuration.

Changes

Cleanup

• Removed empty Books.CSS (unused, no references)
• Added .gitignore for OS/editor/build artifacts

Documentation portability

• Removed hardcoded paths from DEPLOYMENT.md and SESSION_NOTES_2026-01-23.md
• Now: python3 -m http.server 8080 (generic)
• Was: cd "/Users/erendiracisneros/Documents/GitHub/Bookstore"

AI handoff documentation

• Created AI_HANDOFF.md (311 lines) with:
  • Architecture and data model (books array structure)
  • Modification patterns (add book, change theme, extend features)
  • Testing/deployment procedures
  • Troubleshooting reference
• Updated README.md with AI agents section

Result

Repository is now portable, documented, and ready for handoff with clear guidance for both human and AI developers.
