Claude fa5f9c4465 Add model selection guidance and context handoff template
SESSION-STARTUP-GUIDE.md:
- Added model selection table (4.5 vs 4.6)
- When to use 4.6: complex coding, MVC, Arbiter, debugging
- When to stay on 4.5: documentation, marketing, routine ops
- Three options for mid-session model switching

New template:
- docs/templates/context-handoff-template.md
- Structured format for transferring context between sessions
- Covers: task state, decisions, files, next steps, gotchas
