feat: add auth policy disclaimer and repo maintenance notice

Browse Source 
Add prominent warnings about Anthropic's Agent SDK policy regarding
subscription-based authentication for third-party agents. Users are
now advised to use API keys instead of `claude login` to avoid
potential account suspension.

Changes:
- README: Add WARNING and NOTE admonition boxes at top (auth policy
  + repo no longer actively maintained)
- README: Flip auth recommendation to API key first, subscription second
- SettingsModal: Add amber warning Alert when Claude provider is selected
- auth.py: Update CLI/server help messages to recommend API key as Option 1
- Start scripts (start.sh, start.bat, start_ui.sh): Mention ANTHROPIC_API_KEY
  alongside claude login in all auth hints
- start.py, autonomous_agent_demo.py: Update help text references

No functionality removed — subscription auth still works, warnings are
informational only.

A long-running autonomous coding agent powered by the Claude Agent SDK. This tool can build complete applications over multiple sessions using a two-agent pattern (initializer + coding agent). Includes a React-based UI for monitoring progress in real-time.
> [!WARNING]
> **Authentication:** Anthropic's policy states that third-party developers may not offer `claude.ai` login or subscription-based rate limits for their products (including agents built on the Claude Agent SDK) unless previously approved. Using your Claude subscription with AutoForge may risk account suspension. We recommend using an API key from [console.anthropic.com](https://console.anthropic.com/) instead.
> [!NOTE]
> **This repository is no longer actively maintained.** Most agent coding tools now ship their own long-running harnesses, making this project less necessary. Feel free to fork and continue development on your own!

**"Not authenticated with Claude"**
Run `claude login` to authenticate. The start script will prompt you to do this automatically.
Set your API key via `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` environment variable or the Settings UI. Alternatively, run `claude login` to use subscription credentials, but note that Anthropic's policy may not permit subscription-based auth for third-party agents.
**"Appears to hang on first run"**
This is normal. The initializer agent is generating detailed test cases, which takes significant time. Watch for `[Tool: ...]` output to confirm the agent is working.
