chore(claude): remove org-internal persona-write-guard from this public repo

[GmanFooFoo]

Removes .claude/settings.json from this public repository. One deleted file, nothing else.

What the file was

An org-internal Persona-Write-Guard: a PreToolUse Bash hook that intercepted every Bash command, parsed it for git push / gh pr create / gh pr merge, and blocked it unless the current branch matched one of our internal persona names (bob, linus, maschin, …), failing with an error citing an issue in a private repo.

Why it had to go

Claude Code loads project-level settings from the repo it is working in. A contributor who cloned TrustScope and used Claude Code inherited that policy — their push was blocked by a branch-naming convention that is ours, internal, and undocumented here, with an error pointing at an issue they cannot read.

It is session governance for our own agents. It has no bearing on TrustScope as a product, and we do not ship a hook that blocks a contributor's push on our branch names — least of all from the repository that is our public trust-and-quality product.

The control is not being abandoned. Where it should live is under review in neckarshore-ai/dev-environment#124. This PR only stops this repository from carrying it.

Scope — what this does and does not fix

Fixed: a fresh clone of TrustScope no longer inherits the hook. That is the contributor-facing breakage and the reason for this PR.

Not fixed, and out of scope here: git rm removes the file from the tip, not from history. The hook text and the persona roster remain retrievable from earlier commits and from the PRs that introduced them. No credentials or secrets are involved — this is low-severity information residue, noted so the remediation in #124 can account for it rather than assume it is gone.

Verification

1. .claude/ held no other tracked file; the directory is now gone. No placeholder added.
2. Repo-wide sweep for .claude and for persona-write-guard|PWG|#813 found no other reference — nothing is left dangling. (The package-lock.json matches are base64 integrity hashes, not references.)
3. No workflow reads this path, so CI results on this PR are an independent signal rather than collateral.
4. git diff --stat main...HEAD — exactly one deleted file.

Finding and full analysis: neckarshore-ai/dev-environment#124

Do not auto-merge — the Founder merges this one.
