bf-9d8a5: Update CLAUDE.md - bf close --reason is no longer broken

Summary

Updated /home/coding/pdftract/CLAUDE.md to remove the stale workaround about bf close --reason being broken. The bf close command now works correctly as of 2026-05-26 verification.

Changes Made

1. CRITICAL: how to close a bead (lines 20-28)

  • Before: Stated "bf close --reason is BROKEN" and directed users to use bf batch instead
  • After: Documented the standard bf close <id> --reason "..." workflow with example usage

2. Doing the work step 6 (line 93)

  • Before: bf batch --json '[{"op":"close","id":"pdftract-XXX",...}]'
  • After: bf close pdftract-XXX --reason "<cite note + commits + PASS/WARN/FAIL summary>"

3. What NOT to do (anti-loops) section (removed entirely)

  • Removed the obsolete section about the pdftract-1wqec loop where bf close --reason failed repeatedly
  • This bug is now fixed and the warning is no longer relevant

Reusable Pattern

When updating CLAUDE.md or similar documentation:

  1. Read the file first to understand the exact formatting and whitespace
  2. Use targeted edits (Edit tool with specific old_string) rather than full file rewrites
  3. Verify changes by reading the updated file before committing
  4. Commit with descriptive message citing the bead ID
  5. Push immediately after committing to ensure remote reflects the work
