Add autoMemory, hooks awareness, and system prompt enhancements

- Add autoMemoryDirectory setting for project-local .claude/memory/
- Add safety rules, hooks awareness, tool selection guidance, and
  anti-over-engineering directives to main and orchestrator prompts
- Add auto-memory system documentation with memory types and format
- Add context management notes for tool result persistence
