v0.2.0: Custom prompts, historical summarise, nested session fix

[RemoteCTO]

Summary

• Add SEAMLESS_PROMPT_FILE env var to override
  the default compaction prompt entirely
• Add "User Intent" section to default prompt —
  preserves user's original requests verbatim
• Add claude-summarise CLI to summarise any
  historical session by ID or prefix
• Fix nested session guard — strip CLAUDECODE
  env var so claude -p works from inside a
  Claude Code session

Pull request overview

This PR bumps seamless-claude to v0.2.0 by adding custom compaction prompt support, introducing a new “User Intent” section in summaries, and adding a claude-summarise CLI for summarising historical sessions; it also attempts to fix nested-session spawning by stripping CLAUDECODE from the child environment.

Changes:

• Add SEAMLESS_PROMPT_FILE to fully override the default compaction prompt and relax section validation when active.
• Add a new claude-summarise command (script + bin wrapper) to summarise historical sessions by ID/prefix and list available sessions.
• Update prompt/validation config for the new “User Intent” section and adjust docs/changelog accordingly.

lib/validate.mjs:16

• validateResult() now has a customPrompt mode that skips section validation, but there are no tests covering the new behavior (e.g., long output with no expected headings should be accepted when customPrompt=true, while short output should still fail). Adding/adjusting unit tests will help prevent regressions in this new branch.
