Implement mandatory bootstrap process with strict workflow

CRITICAL FIXES: - MANDATORY bootstrap process as first step for all AI projects - STRICT main branch protection: HUMAN-ONLY, AI never touches main - Bootstrap branch as AI base for all development work - Deterministic 5-step bootstrap sequence with exact commands - ALL tags must be pushed to remote immediately after creation BOOTSTRAP AUTOMATION: - Add start-ai-delegation.sh script for Claude CLI automation - Complete setup validation and error checking - Automatic prompt with CTO delegation instructions WORKFLOW DETERMINISM: - Phase 1: Bootstrap (mandatory first session) - Phase 2: Feature development from bootstrap branch - Phase 3: Integration and release through proper branches - All feature branches created from bootstrap, not main Ready for CTO AI delegation with complete main branch protection.
Fix critical template usage issues for CTO AI delegation

+# AI AGENT REFERENCE - TEMPLATE VERSION
+
+**FOR: Gemini-CLI, Claude, OpenCode, all AI tools working with CTO delegation template**
+
+## 🚨 MANDATORY FIRST STEP - BOOTSTRAP PROCESS
+**EVERY AI AGENT MUST EXECUTE THIS EXACT SEQUENCE IMMEDIATELY:**
+
+### Step 1: Git Repository Setup (REQUIRED)
+```bash
+git init
+git add .
+git commit -m "Initial commit from CTO delegation template"
+git branch -M main
+git remote add origin YOUR_REPO_URL
+git push -u origin main
+```
+
+### Step 2: Create Bootstrap Branch (REQUIRED)
+```bash
+git checkout -b bootstrap
+git push -u origin bootstrap
+```
+
+### Step 3: Create Workflow Branches (REQUIRED)  
+```bash
+git checkout -b INTEGRATION-WIP && git push -u origin INTEGRATION-WIP
+git checkout -b RELEASE && git push -u origin RELEASE
+git checkout bootstrap
+```
+
+### Step 4: Update Template Files (REQUIRED)
+**You MUST update these template placeholders IMMEDIATELY:**
+1. Update `docs/WORKLOG-LLM.md` - Fill ALL `[BRACKETED_FIELDS]`
+2. Update `docs/CURRENTWORK-LLM.md` - Fill project info section
+3. Commit bootstrap setup:
+   ```bash
+   git add .
+   git commit -m "Bootstrap: Initialize project with CTO delegation template"
+   git push origin bootstrap
+   ```
+
+### Step 5: Tag Bootstrap Milestone (REQUIRED)
+```bash
+git tag -a bootstrap-complete -m "CTO delegation template bootstrap completed - project ready for AI development"
+git push origin bootstrap-complete
+```
+
+**⚠️ CRITICAL: You are now on `bootstrap` branch and MUST remain here for initial project setup work.**
+
+## CRITICAL RULES
+1. **NEVER TOUCH `main` BRANCH** - Main is HUMAN-ONLY, AI agents use `bootstrap` as base
+2. NEVER auto-delete feature branches - Preserve all branches permanently  
+3. ALWAYS push before switching branches - Never lose work
+4. Push every 10 commits max - Keep work backed up
+5. Tag milestones - Mark completed stages/milestones
+6. UPDATE WORKLOGS - Maintain both worklog files
+
+## DETERMINISTIC COMMANDS
+
+**Start new feature (EXACT sequence):**
+```bash
+git checkout bootstrap
+git pull origin bootstrap  
+git checkout -b feature/TASK-NAME
+```
+
+**Save work before switching (MANDATORY):**
+```bash
+git add .
+git commit -m "SPECIFIC_DESCRIPTION_OF_CHANGES"
+git push origin CURRENT-BRANCH-NAME
+```
+
+**Tag completed milestone (ALWAYS PUSH):**
+```bash
+git tag -a MILESTONE-NAME -m "DETAILED_DESCRIPTION_OF_COMPLETION"
+git push origin MILESTONE-NAME
+```
+
+## BRANCH STRUCTURE (CREATED BY BOOTSTRAP)
+- **`main`** - **HUMAN-ONLY** - Never touched by AI agents (template baseline)
+- **`bootstrap`** - AI agents' base branch for all work (template setup and development)
+- **`INTEGRATION-WIP`** - Auto-merge target for testing features  
+- **`RELEASE`** - Manual PR target for production releases
+- **`feature/TASK-NAME`** - All development work branches from bootstrap (descriptive names)
+
+## DETERMINISTIC WORKFLOW
+
+### Phase 1: Bootstrap (FIRST SESSION ONLY)
+1. **Execute mandatory bootstrap process above** (Steps 1-5)
+2. **Work on bootstrap branch** for initial template setup
+3. **Add READYSET and template files** (future enhancement)
+4. **Tag bootstrap-complete** when setup finished
+
+### Phase 2: Feature Development (ONGOING)
+1. **Always start from bootstrap:** `git checkout bootstrap && git pull origin bootstrap`
+2. **Create specific branch:** `git checkout -b feature/EXACT-TASK-NAME`  
+3. **Work in small chunks:** Commit every logical change
+4. **Push frequently:** Every 5-10 commits or before any branch switch
+5. **Never delete branches:** Preserve all feature branches permanently
+6. **Tag milestones:** When features/stages complete
+
+### Phase 3: Integration & Release
+1. **Features auto-merge to INTEGRATION-WIP** (testing)
+2. **Manual PRs to RELEASE** (production)
+3. **Never delete any branches** (complete history preservation)
+
+## MILESTONE TAGGING (DETERMINISTIC)
+**When to tag:**
+- Feature completely implemented and tested
+- Stage of project fully complete  
+- Major milestone achieved
+
+**Format (be specific):**
+- `feature-auth-complete` (feature done)
+- `milestone-YYYY-MM-DD-DESCRIPTION` (date+description)
+- `stage-NAME-done` (stage complete)
+
+**ALWAYS push tags immediately:**
+```bash
+git tag -a TAG-NAME -m "DESCRIPTION"
+git push origin TAG-NAME
+```
+
+## WORKLOG MAINTENANCE (MANDATORY)
+**Update these files every session:**
+- **docs/WORKLOG-LLM.md** - Current status, progress, next actions
+- **docs/CURRENTWORK-LLM.md** - Detailed notes, decisions, concerns
+
+**Pattern (deterministic):**
+1. Session start → Update current status in WORKLOG-LLM.md
+2. During work → Add detailed notes to CURRENTWORK-LLM.md
+3. Session end → Update completion status and next actions
+
+## CTO DELEGATION PRINCIPLES  
+**Make outcomes deterministic:**
+- Use specific commit messages describing exact changes
+- Tag with descriptive names explaining what was accomplished
+- Document all decisions and concerns in CURRENTWORK-LLM.md
+- Follow exact command sequences above
+- Never deviate from branch protection rules
+
+## CONTEXT
+- **Purpose:** Template for CTO AI delegation framework
+- **Platform:** Any git hosting (GitHub, Gitea, GitLab)  
+- **Structure:** Keep docs in docs/ directory for clean repos
+- **Philosophy:** Deterministic AI delegation with complete audit trail

+# AI Agent Workflow Reference
+
+**PRIMARY REFERENCE FOR: Gemini-CLI, Claude, OpenCode, and all AI tools**
+
+## 🚨 CRITICAL RULES
+
+1. **NEVER work on `main` branch** - Always use feature branches
+2. **NEVER auto-delete feature branches** - Preserve all branches permanently
+3. **ALWAYS push before switching branches** - Never lose work
+4. **Push every 10 commits max** - Keep work backed up
+5. **Tag milestones** - Mark completed stages/milestones
+6. **UPDATE WORKLOGS** - Maintain WORKLOG.md and CURRENTWORK.md
+
+## 📋 Quick Commands
+
+**Start new feature:**
+```bash
+git checkout main && git pull origin main
+git checkout -b feature/your-feature-name
+```
+
+**Before switching branches:**
+```bash
+git add . && git commit -m "Your message"
+git push origin current-branch-name
+```
+
+**Tag a milestone:**
+```bash
+git tag -a milestone-name -m "Description of what was completed"
+git push origin milestone-name
+```
+
+## 🌳 Branch Structure
+
+- **`main`** - Stable, protected, no direct work
+- **`LLMBOOTSTRAP`** - Initial setup/bootstrap work
+- **`INTEGRATION-WIP`** - Auto-merge target for testing
+- **`RELEASE`** - Manual PR target for production
+- **`feature/*`** - All development work happens here
+
+## ⚡ Workflow Pattern
+
+1. Create feature branch from `main`
+2. Work with frequent commits (small, logical)
+3. Push every ~10 commits or before branch switching
+4. Feature auto-merges to `INTEGRATION-WIP` for testing
+5. Manual PR to `RELEASE` when ready for production
+6. **NEVER delete branches** - Keep for history
+
+## 🏷️ Tagging Guidelines
+
+**When to tag:**
+- Milestone completed
+- Stage finished
+- Major feature done
+
+**Tag formats:**
+- `bootstrap-complete` (stage names)
+- `milestone-2025-09-05` (date-based)
+- `auth-module-done` (feature-based)
+
+**Always use:** `git tag -a tagname -m "description"`
+
+## 🛠️ Repository Context
+
+- **Platform:** Gitea (not GitHub)
+- **Workflow:** Feature branches → Integration → Release
+- **Philosophy:** Preserve history, frequent commits, milestone tracking
+
+## 📝 Work Tracking
+
+**ALWAYS maintain work logs:**
+- **[WORKLOG.md](./WORKLOG.md)** - Medium fidelity: status, progress, next actions
+- **[CURRENTWORK.md](./CURRENTWORK.md)** - High fidelity: detailed notes, concerns, questions
+- **LLM Versions:** [AGENT-LLM.MD](./AGENT-LLM.MD), [WORKLOG-LLM.md](./WORKLOG-LLM.md), [CURRENTWORK-LLM.md](./CURRENTWORK-LLM.md)
+
+**Update pattern:**
+1. Start session → Update current status in WORKLOG.md
+2. During work → Add detailed notes to CURRENTWORK.md  
+3. End session → Update completion status and next actions

+# Current Work - Detailed Log
+
+**Session:** 2025-09-05 Bootstrap Setup  
+**Agent:** Claude Code  
+**Branch:** LLMBOOTSTRAP  
+**Related:** [WORKLOG.md](./WORKLOG.md)
+
+---
+
+## 🎯 Current Focus: Worklog System Implementation
+
+### Objective
+Setting up comprehensive work tracking system with:
+- Medium fidelity WORKLOG.md for status/progress tracking
+- High fidelity CURRENTWORK.md for detailed notes/concerns
+- Proper cross-referencing between documents
+
+### Progress Notes
+
+#### ✅ Completed in This Session
+
+**Branch Structure Setup**
+- Created LLMBOOTSTRAP, INTEGRATION-WIP, RELEASE branches
+- All branches properly created from main
+- No issues with branch creation process
+
+**Documentation Creation**
+- GIT_WORKFLOW.MD: Comprehensive workflow with DO/DON'T examples
+- Added explicit branch preservation rules (NEVER auto-delete)
+- Included commit/push frequency guidelines (every 10 commits, before branch switches)
+- Added tagging guidelines for milestones
+- Total lines: ~147 lines of detailed documentation
+
+**LLM Optimization**
+- Completely rewrote AGENT.MD for AI tool consumption
+- Added visual structure with emojis for quick parsing
+- Created quick command reference blocks
+- Structured for Gemini-CLI, Claude, OpenCode compatibility
+- Reduced cognitive load while maintaining completeness
+
+**Milestone Tracking**

+
+#### 🔄 Currently Working On
+
+**Worklog System Design**
+- WORKLOG.md structure completed - medium fidelity status tracking
+- CURRENTWORK.md in progress - high fidelity detailed logging
+- Cross-linking between documents for easy navigation
+
+### Technical Decisions Made
+
+1. **Branch Naming Convention:** 
+   - Used descriptive names (LLMBOOTSTRAP vs generic feature-1)
+   - INTEGRATION-WIP clearly indicates purpose
+   - RELEASE clearly indicates production readiness
+
+2. **Documentation Strategy:**
+   - GIT_WORKFLOW.MD: Human-readable comprehensive reference
+   - AGENT.MD: LLM-optimized quick reference
+   - Dual approach ensures both human and AI accessibility
+
+3. **Tagging Strategy:**
+   - Descriptive names over version numbers for clarity
+   - Annotated tags with meaningful descriptions
+   - Push immediately after creation to preserve milestones
+
+### Concerns & Questions
+
+#### Repository Structure
+- **Concern:** Current flat structure in root directory
+- **Question:** Should we organize docs into subdirectories later?
+- **Decision:** Keep flat for now for simplicity, reorganize if it becomes cluttered
+
+#### Worklog Maintenance
+- **Concern:** Who maintains the worklog consistency?
+- **Assumption:** Each AI agent should update both WORKLOG.md and CURRENTWORK.md
+- **Need:** Clear guidelines in AGENT.MD about worklog maintenance
+
+#### Integration Branch Usage
+- **Question:** How exactly will INTEGRATION-WIP auto-merge work?
+- **Status:** Documented in workflow but may need Gitea configuration
+- **Action:** Future task to configure Gitea merge automation
+
+### Next Immediate Steps
+
+1. **Complete Worklog System:**
+   - Finish CURRENTWORK.md structure
+   - Update AGENT.MD with worklog references
+   - Commit and tag worklog milestone
+
+2. **Test Workflow:**
+   - Verify all links work in Gitea web interface
+   - Ensure markdown renders properly
+   - Validate cross-references function
+
+3. **Future Sessions:**
+   - Each new session should update both logs
+   - Maintain current status in WORKLOG.md
+   - Add detailed notes to CURRENTWORK.md
+
+### Code/Configuration References
+
+**Git Commands Used:**
+```bash
+git checkout -b LLMBOOTSTRAP
+git checkout main && git checkout -b INTEGRATION-WIP  
+git checkout main && git checkout -b RELEASE

+# Git Workflow
+
+This document outlines the git workflow for this repository, designed for use with Gitea.
+
+## Branch Structure
+
+### Main Branches
+
+- **`main`** - The primary stable branch. Direct work should NOT be done on this branch.
+- **`RELEASE`** - Production-ready code. Only accepts pull requests that have been manually reviewed and approved.
+- **`INTEGRATION-WIP`** - Integration branch where all feature branches are automatically merged for testing and integration.
+
+### Feature Branches
+
+- **`LLMBOOTSTRAP`** - Initial bootstrap feature branch for LLM-assisted development setup.
+- Additional feature branches should follow naming conventions like `feature/description` or `task/description`.
+
+## Workflow Rules
+
+1. **Never work directly on `main`** - All work must be done on feature branches.
+
+2. **Feature Development Flow:**
+   - Create feature branches from `main`
+   - Develop features in isolation on these branches
+   - Feature branches automatically merge to `INTEGRATION-WIP` for continuous integration testing
+
+3. **Integration Testing:**
+   - `INTEGRATION-WIP` branch serves as the integration environment
+   - All feature branches are automatically merged here
+   - Used for testing compatibility between different features
+
+4. **Release Process:**
+   - Only manually reviewed pull requests are merged to `RELEASE`
+   - `RELEASE` branch represents production-ready code
+   - Requires explicit approval before merging
+
+## Branch Protection
+
+- `main` - Protected, no direct commits allowed
+- `RELEASE` - Protected, only manual PR merges allowed
+- `INTEGRATION-WIP` - Accepts automatic merges from feature branches
+
+## Feature Branch Management
+
+### **CRITICAL: Branch Preservation**
+- **NEVER automatically delete feature branches** under any circumstances
+- Feature branches must be preserved for historical reference and potential future work
+- Branch deletion should only occur through explicit manual action after careful consideration
+
+### **Commit and Push Frequency**
+- **Commit frequently** - Make small, logical commits as you work
+- **Push every 10 commits maximum** - Don't let local commits accumulate
+- **ALWAYS push before switching branches** - Ensure work is backed up remotely
+- **Push immediately before any branch operations** (merge, rebase, etc.)
+
+### **Tagging for Milestones**
+- **Create tags when interim stages or milestones are completed**
+- **Push tags immediately after creation** to preserve milestone markers
+- **Tag naming conventions:**
+  - Date-based: `milestone-YYYY-MM-DD` or `stage-YYYY-MM-DD-HHMM`
+  - Stage-based: `bootstrap-complete`, `auth-module-done`, `integration-ready`
+  - Plan-based: Use milestone names from planning documents
+- **Always annotate tags** with meaningful descriptions of what was accomplished
+
+## Best Practices
+
+- Keep feature branches focused and small
+- Use descriptive branch names
+- Regularly sync feature branches with `main`
+- Test thoroughly in `INTEGRATION-WIP` before requesting merge to `RELEASE`
+- Write clear commit messages and PR descriptions
+- Follow the commit/push frequency rules above
+
+## Examples: DO and DON'T
+
+### ✅ **DO Examples**
+
+```bash
+# DO: Create feature branch from main
+git checkout main
+git pull origin main
+git checkout -b feature/user-authentication
+
+# DO: Commit frequently with descriptive messages
+git add .
+git commit -m "Add user login form validation"
+git commit -m "Implement password hashing utility"
+git commit -m "Add user session management"
+
+# DO: Push after every 10 commits or before switching branches
+git push origin feature/user-authentication
+
+# DO: Push before switching to another branch
+git push origin feature/user-authentication
+git checkout feature/payment-system
+
+# DO: Sync feature branch with main regularly
+git checkout main
+git pull origin main
+git checkout feature/user-authentication
+git merge main
+
+# DO: Tag milestones with descriptive annotations
+git tag -a bootstrap-complete -m "Initial project structure and workflow setup completed"
+git push origin bootstrap-complete
+
+# DO: Use date-based tags for interim stages
+git tag -a stage-2025-09-05-1430 -m "Authentication module implementation complete"
+git push origin stage-2025-09-05-1430
+```
+
+### ❌ **DON'T Examples**
+
+```bash
+# DON'T: Work directly on main
+git checkout main
+git add .
+git commit -m "Fix user auth bug"  # ❌ NEVER DO THIS
+
+# DON'T: Delete feature branches automatically
+git branch -d feature/user-authentication  # ❌ NEVER DO THIS
+git push origin --delete feature/user-authentication  # ❌ NEVER DO THIS
+
+# DON'T: Let commits accumulate without pushing
+git log --oneline  # Shows 15+ unpushed commits  # ❌ Should have pushed earlier
+
+# DON'T: Switch branches without pushing current work
+git checkout feature/payment-system  # ❌ Without pushing current branch first
+
+# DON'T: Make massive commits
+git add .
+git commit -m "Complete entire user system"  # ❌ Too broad, break it down
+
+# DON'T: Create tags without annotations
+git tag milestone-1  # ❌ No description of what was accomplished
+git push origin milestone-1
+
+# DON'T: Forget to push tags
+git tag -a bootstrap-complete -m "Setup complete"
+# ❌ Missing: git push origin bootstrap-complete
+```
+
+### 🔧 **Workflow Examples**
+
+**Starting new feature:**
+```bash
+git checkout main
+git pull origin main
+git checkout -b feature/shopping-cart
+# Work, commit frequently, push every ~10 commits
+```
+
+**Switching between features:**
+```bash
+# Currently on feature/shopping-cart
+git add .
+git commit -m "Add item quantity validation"
+git push origin feature/shopping-cart  # ✅ Push before switching
+git checkout feature/user-profile
