- Updated API routes to accept an optional settings service for loading the autoLoadClaudeMd setting.
- Introduced a new settings helper utility for retrieving project-specific settings.
- Enhanced feature generation and spec generation processes to utilize the autoLoadClaudeMd setting.
- Refactored relevant route handlers to support the new settings integration across various endpoints.
