chore: add module/prelude guidance to CLAUDE.md (#12542)

This PR adds guidance to `.claude/CLAUDE.md` about the `module` +
`prelude` convention required for files in `src/Lean/`, `src/Std/`, and
`src/lake/Lake/`. CI enforces that these files contain `prelude`, but
with `prelude` nothing is auto-imported, so explicit `Init.*` imports
are needed for standard library features like `while`,
`String.startsWith`, etc.

## Module System for `src/` Files
Files in `src/Lean/`, `src/Std/`, and `src/lake/Lake/` must have both `module` and `prelude` (CI enforces `^prelude$` on its own line). With `prelude`, nothing is auto-imported — you must explicitly import `Init.*` modules for standard library features. Check existing files in the same directory for the pattern, e.g.:
```lean
module
prelude
import Init.While -- needed for while/repeat
import Init.Data.String.TakeDrop -- needed for String.startsWith
public import Lean.Compiler.NameMangling -- public if types are used in public signatures
```
Files outside these directories (e.g. `tests/`, `script/`) use just `module`.
## CI Log Retrieval
When CI jobs fail, investigate immediately - don't wait for other jobs to complete. Individual job logs are often available even while other jobs are still running. Try `gh run view <run-id> --log` or `gh run view <run-id> --log-failed`, or use `gh run view <run-id> --job=<job-id>` to target the specific failed job. Sleeping is fine when asked to monitor CI and no failures exist yet, but once any job fails, investigate that failure immediately.
