Update QUICKSTART path in documentation structure
CLAUDE.md still lists docs/QUICKSTART.md as an active navigation file, but this commit moved QUICKSTART.md into docs/archive/legacy/ and there is no copy under docs/. Following the documented startup workflow now directs the assistant to a non-existent file. Point this entry at the archived path or provide an active quickstart document.

Fix summary reference to archived file
The DOCUMENTATION_STRUCTURE section still advertises summary.md as a navigation file even though the summary was archived to docs/archive/legacy/summary.md in this commit, leaving no summary at repo root. Loading context from this entry will fail because the referenced file no longer exists. Update the path or remove it from the active list to avoid broken navigation.
