chore: remove .claude submodule and investigations tool references#12
Conversation
The .claude submodule points to a private repo which breaks public clones. Removed it from git tracking and added .claude/ to .gitignore so OpenTrace developers can optionally clone it locally. Also removed the investigations tools row from the README since those tools are no longer exposed. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
