Joe Danziger 95c299df64 Unify and streamline profile system architecture (#853)
* move claude rules and commands to assets/claude

* update claude profile to copy assets/claude to .claude

* fix formatting

* feat(profiles): Implement unified profile system

- Convert Claude and Codex profiles to use createProfile() factory
- Remove simple vs complex profile distinction in rule transformer
- Unify convertAllRulesToProfileRules() to handle all profiles consistently
- Fix mcpConfigPath construction in base-profile.js for null mcpConfigName
- Update terminology from 'simpleProfiles' to 'assetOnlyProfiles' throughout
- Ensure Claude .claude directory copying works in both CLI and MCP contexts
- All profiles now follow same execution flow with proper lifecycle functions

Changes:
- src/profiles/claude.js: Convert to createProfile() factory pattern
- src/profiles/codex.js: Convert to createProfile() factory pattern
- src/utils/rule-transformer.js: Unified profile handling logic
- src/utils/profiles.js: Remove simple profile categorization
- src/profiles/base-profile.js: Fix mcpConfigPath construction
- scripts/modules/commands.js: Update variable naming
- tests/: Update all tests for unified system and terminology

Fixes Claude profile asset copying issue in MCP context.
All tests passing (617 passed, 11 skipped).
