docs: bring CLAUDE.md, README, TODO current after the three features

- CLAUDE.md: new hard rule that removal functions are exact inverses of
  their add counterparts (round-trip self-tests); TRASH_DIR added to the
  server constants; verified-live list extended with list-repos and a
  full delete cycle.
- README: TRASH_DIR in the server-install constants and its dir note.
- TODO: items 1-3 already marked done; cross-cutting work folded in;
  remaining leftovers listed (repo-name completion, the cosmetic
  No changes. echo, and the YAGNI gc-trash prune verb).
- Removed all pre-existing em dashes from CLAUDE.md and README.

Docs only, no code change.
