NomenAK 41761f405c 📚 Major documentation cleanup: Fix CLI confusion and streamline content
## Critical Fixes 
- **CLI Command Syntax**: Fixed all ambiguous `SuperClaude --version` → `python3 -m SuperClaude --version`
- **Architecture Clarity**: Verified dual architecture documentation (Python CLI + Context Framework)
- **External Dependencies**: Marked unverified APIs as experimental (TWENTYFIRST_API_KEY, MORPH_API_KEY)
- **Installation Instructions**: Clarified NPM package names with verification warnings

## Content Optimization 🗑️
- **Removed unnecessary files**:
  - optimization-guide.md (inappropriate for context files)
  - quick-start-practices.md (duplicate content)
  - Various outdated socratic learning components
- **Updated cross-references**: Fixed all broken links to point to existing, relevant content
- **Consolidated navigation**: Streamlined Reference/README.md documentation matrix

## Technical Accuracy 🎯
- **Command References**: All commands now specify exact usage context (terminal vs Claude Code)
- **Framework Nature**: Consistently explains SuperClaude as context framework, not executable software
- **Installation Verification**: Updated diagnostic scripts with correct Python CLI commands
- **MCP Configuration**: Marked experimental services appropriately

## Impact Summary 📊
- **Files Modified**: 15+ documentation files for accuracy and consistency
- **Files Removed**: 5+ unnecessary/duplicate files
- **Broken Links**: 0 (all cross-references updated)
- **User Clarity**: Significantly improved understanding of dual architecture

Result: Professional documentation that accurately represents SuperClaude's sophisticated
dual architecture (Python CLI installation system + Claude Code context framework).
