Florian BRUNIAUX 0348f08288 feat: add Claude Code releases tracking
Add condensed release history for Claude Code product (v2.0.24 → v2.1.12)

New files:
- machine-readable/claude-code-releases.yaml: Source of truth (YAML)
- guide/claude-code-releases.md: Human-readable changelog
- scripts/update-cc-releases.sh: Check for new releases from GitHub

Modified:
- reference.yaml: Add deep_dive entries for releases
- check-landing-sync.sh: Add CC version check (#5)
- README.md, guide/README.md: Add navigation links
- CLAUDE.md: Document update workflow
