aj-workspace-claude-md-must-not-duplicate-memory-topic-files

aj-workspace CLAUDE.md had lines 18-31 duplicating the Topic Files index from MEMORY.md — a direct Law 1 violation. Any CLAUDE.md in a workspace should be a pure pointer to MEMORY.md; it must never contain file lists or topic inventories. When MEMORY.md’s Topic Files section changes, CLAUDE.md would silently drift. Fix: collapse to a single sentence referencing MEMORY.md.
